Actor Who Immortalized
 Count of Monte Cristo"

1T AMES DWELL upheld the finest V traditions of the American stage. No one who has ever seen him as Edmund Dantes in "Monte Cristo" can forget his extraordinary performance. It is engraved on the memories of thousands of playgo- CTS, who saw him not once, but many times, in a role which will always be associated with his name. |
 Like Frederick Warde and William H. Crane, O'Neil was a link between the past and the present; and like them, he was a type of the best American actor. Although he is chiefly known for his immortal Monte Cristo," which he played con- tinuously for fifteen years in nearly every town in the country which boasted a theatre, he essayed many other parts with success. He was one of the most graceful actors who ever lived and in the role of a cour- tier was inimitable. He seemed born to wear lace cuffs, a frilled shirt and sword.
 The ardent love for his profession which characterizes all true actors, was a part of James O'Neil. Until his health failed he continued to act, although at the time of his death he was seventy-three years old. Crane and Warde are still as enthusiastic about their work as the youngest actor, and O'Neil showed the same attachment to the footlights. He made his first appearance at the Ma tional theatre in Cincinnati, 1867.
 Perhaps the most ambitious road tour ever attempted in America was that of "The Two Orphans" with an all-star cast. For once, the press agent was powerless, to exaggerate. In that notable company were Clara Morris, James O'Neil, Louis James, Isabel Irving, Sarah Traux, Mrs. Le- Moyne, Elita Proctor Otis and 'sev- eral others of almost equal prs-ni- hence.
 ! The older actors have distinction
 that we find it, somehow, difficult to associate with their successors. There is glamor about them which may be in part the glamor of cur own youth. James O'Neil enjoyed great personal popularity, during his
