To confess to a sense of poignant pain
and regret as he studies the formidable
list of distinguished artists who have
passed away during the past half-dozen
months, to be seen no more on the Eng
disappearing stage
Death has seldom recorded a richer
harvest of men and women connected
with the theater than during the few
momentous months which have slipped
into the eternal limbo of time. Many
of those who have gone were conspicu-
Gus in the ranks as players, managers,
dramastists. Some will be forgotten:
some will live on In affectionate men,
DRY, but all are keenly regretted now
that the grief of their loss is fresh upon
us.
Who will not for years to come recall
with melancholy pleasure those players
who, one time or a hundred times, d.
verted us with memorable stimulation
of the passions or the foibles of our
own kind?

Everyone. whether ailing. sick or
