pearec as Hicnard ttt.
Between the ages of fifteen and
eighteen Edwin Booth was almost con-
stantly the intimate companion Of his
father, Junius Brutus Booth the elder.
That fathers eccentricities were such
as to tax even the devotion of such
a son. but Edwin's affectionate care
never failed He used to beguile the
tragedian's time following his arduous
performances by playing the violin or
singing negro ballads, accompanying
himself on the banjo. Many times he
attended his father on long walks be-
tween midnight and morning. In 1851.
on certain night, the father was
booked to appear as Richard Ill. at
the National theater. New York. An
hour before the time for the curtain
to rise he chose to lock himself In a
closet at his hotel and refused every
persuasion his son could offer to keep
his engagement.
In despair Edwin rushed to the the
ater to explain his fathers absence.
The house was already filed. The
manager was distracted and In his
excited questioning of the boy acc1-
dentally learned that the tragedian
had f1ippantly told Edwin to go ana
act Richard himself well take him
at his word" said the manager. And
the frightened boy was FASTENED to
the stage and helped into his fathers
Gloster costume. several sizes too big
for him. Members of the company
gave helpful encouragement.
The play opened without an explana-
ton to the audience. When Edwin
made his entrance for the opening solil-
oquy the substitution was immediate
ly recognized. but so also was the boy.
for Edwin had several times appeared
in lesser parts. notably that of Tressel
in the same play. in which role he
made his very first appearance. The
audience was kindly tolerant for a
time, then interested and finally enthu-
siastic, for Edwin Booth. although only
eighteen years of age. played Richard
worthily, revealing many flashes of
that brilliant genius that afterward
made him a star of much greater emil
nence than his father had ever achiev-
ed. On the strength of this success
Edwin Booth was soon engaged by
the manager of Baltimore stock COM
pany to play any part assigned to him
at the enticing salary of Sc per week.
Small as that pay was. Edwin Booth
later on in the far west experienced

measurably relieved by an even small
