MANSFIELD'S RANK
AS A STAGE ARTIST

In the Theater Magazine for October
there appears this estimate of the late
Richard Mansfield
'It Is difficult with so short perspec-
tive to assign to the late Richard Mans
field his true rank as an actor. That he
was a great actor, ranking with those
who have been esteemed truly great, Is
more than doubtful. The adjective great
is applied so Unfortunately nowadays
by the enthusiastic press agent that 1t
has become applicable to any or all forms
of stage entertainment, and is used just
as literally for vaudeville show as for
the best work OF the worlds most famous
artists. 1t would seem that the best place
one can logically assign to this dead art
list is that he was a clever, versatile and
highly cultivated eccentric comedian.

when he started out in the world for
himself this feeling of bitterness was fur

story that when his parents landed at
Heligoland. when he was a baby, that
they actually forgot to take him ashore,
and in fact left him in the drawer OF a
bureau, and that subsequently he was
rescued from the ship and carried ashore
by sailor. Is 1t any wonder that this
man, in his early training. knew little of
