selves in the challenging roles
of the theater, Miss Taylor was
starring in the melodramas of
Charles Alonzo Taylor whose
child bride she became at 16.
Yet there was something about
her performances in these dull.
StyliZed roles that set her apart:
the private unanalyzable art of
Laurette Taylor.
The coolest blooded producers
and the warmest hearted audi
ences both recognized Miss Tay-
lor's special magic. But, as Mrs.
Courtney's detached recall of her
mother makes clear, the personal
drama of Laurette was far more
arresting than that which she
performed in public.
She could grow tired OF
Charles Alonzo Taylor, his in
fidelities and his assembly line
melodramas. She could divorce
and completely forget him when
she met the aloof, cultured j
Hartley Manners, who wrote
Peg O. My Heart" for her, he,
one memorable play before her
great comeback.
1t is in the area of Miss Tay-
lor's marriage to Manners that
Mrs. Courtney most disconcert-
lngly contradicts the dramatic
legend of her mothers life. The
cherished explanation of the
latter's long interval Of alcoholic
oblivion is that it was her grief
for Manners after his death,
Well, no. Mrs. Courtney ex-
plains. This marriage for all its
radiant glow. like that to Taylor
far less romantic figure, also
had lapsed in its fervor. Miss
Taylor had met John Gilbert
fallen in love with him. asked
Tor divorce and when denied
it, began the drinking bout that
became one of the most famous
in drama annals.
Thisawas the retreat of a tenn
pestuous, dreaming, unschooled
creature totally lacking in the
ability to deal with Illustration
and reality
Yet in the long interval OF
negation of glamor and glory
Miss Taylor did acquire %this
ability and her daughter is
properly proud of her.
That second career that be-
gan at Mt. Kisco in 1888 was
an incredibly crowning climax
1t brought her first the revival
OF Sutton Vane's Outward
Bound" and the delighted dis
covery of everyone that Miss
Taylor was as magic an actress
as her tragic legend had it
mostly without proof.
Yet to come. however, was

rious valedictory which brought

circuit.
We were new in the theater
then and not intimate with it's
gossip, but it took no background
nor sensitiveness to realize this
was an eventful day. We knew
in a general way the Laurette
Taylor legend, that she had been
a great star who had become an
alcoholic. and that this was to
be re-emergence after years of
solitary drinking behind locked
doors.
1t was moment full OF drama,
more so it was to turn out than
the Candida" which she had
come to Mount Kisco to play.
Everything was gay, artificially,
and unreal as if no one could
really believe he was there with
Laurette Taylor and that this
time. she was going to make it.
Miss Taylor shared the dis
belief but. being the best make
believer present, she concealed it
more than the others. In the act
of concealment, she won another
heart, this one. than which none
could have been more delighted
that her comeback, this time,
worked.
That brief scene In Miss Tay-
lor's dazzling career. all that led
up to it and away from it to
new summit, is now illuminated.
1t is all made clear in one of
the most captivating, candid
biographies ever written OF
public idol. This is ''Laurette,
by Marguerite Courtney, Miss
Taylor's daughter. In its differ
ent way, it is as fascinating as
any performance the subject
herself ever gave.
"Laurette" once more deserves
an audience for this book is at
once revealing, readable and a
roll call of one Of the most spec
tacular casts that ever helped to
play vivid life.
x*
AS her mothers biographer.
Mrs. Courtney pays her the great
and deserved tribute of knowing
that she can tell the truth about
her, the unflattering as well as
the other. That this turns out
to be more dramatic than the
legends woven in the imagina-
tions of Miss Taylor's associates
Is a reflection of Mrs. Courtney's
true daughterhood.
The figure that emerges from
s'Laurette" is more that of a
great and irrestible personality
than of a great actress. There
was the essence Of Irishness in
this red haired daughter of
James and Elizabeth Cooney of
the Bronx. She was wistful,
wayward, hoydenish. and dream
haunted but more than anything
else she was mercurial and love-
able. $3.50
