times they had together when they were two young

anything and everything that happened to come in

We both lived in Richmond Virginia. At that
time Richmond had theater and stock company
of actors. The old Marshall Theater was quite
celebrated PLAYHOUSE. 1t either burned down or
pulled down shortly before the and in its place
was reared the new Marshall Theater most i'll fash

remember it now, its cheap gauze and tinsel would
not be tolerated amid the splendors of the present

But the play! That indeed the thing. The
actors of that period worked hard; for, according
to the conception of that time, they required
to do as much muscular labor if they had been

Helping the Brother in Law

advising me that his brother in
law, Harry Warren, young
actor with a travelling COM
pany, was i'll in Richmond, and
that he felt anxious about him.
He asked me to see that he was
not neglected. | hunted up
Warren, and found him at a most
uncomfortable place, very
sick man, having an attack OF
iaundice. | had him removed
to a private house, where he
was cared for tenderly and at
tended by my own physician;
so that he soon recovered.
An amusing thing occurred
in this connection. Warren
was left alone in his room under
the influence of strong drugs
while his sickness was at its
height. This was proper; but
it naturally depressed him.
There was a speaking tube in
the room; but the patient had
no occasion to use it. The good
woman of the house, having
heard nothing from him for
long time, became anxious and
thought he might need some
attention, and that possibly
the speaking tube was OBJ
