Famous Actors of the Past
COLLEY
OIBBER

When Cibher started on the boards
he was a small, fair-haired and slender
young man, His voice was thin,
and became shrill when lie forced
it. On the whole, he seemed to
be ill.suited TO the lovers and tragic
parts he wanted to play, but being
well qualified with brains, he knew
how TO turn his natural defects to
artistic account. His impudent face,
with the upturned snub nose. the little
mouth with the vapid smile, the slender
figure, the thin, shrill voice, enabled
him to become the leading comedian
OF his time. In his tragic parts he
was merely tolerated by the public
in fact, they were very bad, although
he eXcelled as Richard III
When BettertoD left the Drury Lane
thcater, Clbbcr obtained firm foot
ing as an actor After Betterton re-
signed his leadership OF the Drury Lane
theater, Cibber, Wilkes and Dopgett
became proprietors and managers of
The Drury Lane stage. and il was due
TO Colley Cibber that Anne Oldfeld,
better known as Nance Oldheld, created
the first great vogue in England for
actresses, so much SO that at her death
she was inferred in Westminster Abbey.
Cibber himself was the author of
many plays, and has left an indelible
| mark in the history of the English
stage. He died in 1857 at the age of
50 and was buried in the Danish
church which his father had built in
Ioy6, by order of the Danish king. in

Colley Cibber, the contemporary of
Wilkes, Doggctt, Booth. Mrs. Oldfield
and Mrs. Porter, made his debut on
the stage in 1890 with Bctterton. He
was 19 years of age, we'll educated
and of good family, which was not the
rule with actors of that period. His
father was a sculptor Of reputation of
Danish birth, und his mother, Jane Col
ley, of good old English lineage.
The debut of young ColleY was not
under the most auspicious crcum
stances, but in a way brought him
good fortune. His first entrance where
he was to bring message to Better
ton, ne was so horror stricken by stage
fright that he broke down. and the
scene ended in general confusion. Re
hearsals in those days were exceedingly
defective-in fact, everything was left
to chance, and in this instance there
was no exception. Betterton did not
even know the name of the raw recruit.
When the curtain rang down on the
act, Betterton in a rage advanced to
the prompter, and in a loud and angry
voice asked who the silly young man
was that oecasioned the utter fiasco of
the scene Just played. The prompter;
Downes, replied. Master Cibber.> y

the prompter. ''he has no salary '''' No
salary" said the old man. Fthen put
him down for los a week and forfeit

thoroughly convinced the greatest

liable. An oil well that will produce
fifty barrels of oil in its flow is con
