JENNIE KIMBALL'S Boys.

 

 

Many Comedians that were Graduated
from Her Juvenile Company.

'The death of Jennie Kimball recalls .

the fact that the burlesquestage of to-
day owes her some of its brightest stars
as well as the infant prima donna Cor»
inne. It was from Miss Kimball’s first
juvenile company, the Corinne Merry-
makers, that the Billy brothers, Bob
and Dan, took their start. Dan is now
leading comedian at the New York 0.2-
sino.

“The Great Crowley," who has been
successful in London, was also one of
'her early juveniles. Harry Concr, who
made a hit as Welland Strong in Hoyt‘.-
“A Trip to Chinatown.” and Charles A.
Bigelow, the O’Hooligan of "Lillie
Christopher,” are others of llIiss Kin;-
ball’s boys.

Miss Kimball’s school was one of the
best for would-be burlesque artists, and
it was a. misfortune for that branch of
the‘profession when she decided three
years after Corinne began, to surround
the baby star with adult support. Miss
Kimball was well fitted for her task of
making burlesque artists, having been

. a burlesque actress for many years at
the old Howard Athenzeum in Boston,
along in the 70’s.

She took to the profession of manag»
ing after her meeting with Corinne, who
has been often spoken of as Kimball’s
child. She is, in fact, the daughter of
poor Italians, and attracted the atten-
tion of the burlesque actress by her
plaintive singing in the streets. Miss
Kimball offered to teach the 5 year old
child. and found her not only apt and
bright, but also a. natural actress. She
soon adopted her, and in “Pinafore”
the tot made her first how to the public
at the Boston Museum in 1870. '

Juvenile opera companies were then
just starting, Haverley’s and Mile's ju-
venile opera companies being the first.
Miss Kimball gathered all the child
singers she could in the city, getting
many from music teachers, and when,
two years later, after a couple of we'eks’
run at the 01d Gaiety Theatre, she start-
ed the Merrymakers on the road with
“Cinderella,” the little compa'ny num-
bered 35, ranging in age from the prima
donna's 7 years to some 15 year old chor-
us girls. .

Miss Kimball was very strict with her
youthful company, and not only watch-
ed over their stage business. but also
looked after their habits, and the bud-
ding choristers and comedians frequent-
ly led their guardian a pretty chase, as
each mother had given her the strictest
orders. A salutary lesson to one boy
made a great impression on the rest of
the boys. '

It was in St. Louis. The curtain was
about to ring up when Buttoui was re
ported missing. Scurrying about town
Hayden finally brought the small low
comedian in a sad condition into the
presence of the head cf the company,
and held her knitting while she settled
with him. She first demanded where
Buttoni’s savings were. There could
be no doubt Charley had spent them
all. He was penniless and very tipsy.
So Miss Kimball, who was rather ath-
letic, and had got the disgraced Buttoni
into a corner, boxed his ears soundly
(to be entirely frank, cat-o’-nine tailed
him), berating him the while. Being
quite irresponsible the boy,stood on his
dignity, and refused to promise reform,
whereupon he was at once discharged.
and started on his homeward journey in
the hour. ,

A week or so later, while the com-
pany awaited a train in the Minneapolis
station, Miss Kimball espied a small
sized tramp sitting shivering back of
the stove. The sympathy natural to
one dealing with so many children
welled up in her bosom. Stalking up
to the stove she dragged the tramp out
into the light, and disclosed to the as-
tonished gaze of the assembled company
the luckless Buttoni, with trousers that
scarce held together, the mere remnant
of a shirt, and no hat.

“Is this you?” she thundered, holding
the shivering morsel with two fingers.

“Ye-es,” sobbed the penitent tramp,
submitting patiently to be soundly
shaken. He knew that the shake meant
forgiveness and a new suit of clothes.
'for there were tears in Miss Kimball’s
eyes. But. he was compelled to vow
that he would never get tipsy, nor neg-
lect his part, nor squander his earnings
again, before he tasted the full sweets
of the prodigal son. He kept his wor-l
while he was with Miss Kimball, and
his friends wish he had’ always stayed
with her.

SCOTT’S HEROINE AN AMERICAN.

The Original Bebecca \Vas a Native of the
Quaker City.

A few weeks ago was the anniver-
sary of the birth of one Rebecca Gratz
.——she was born on March 4. 1781—who,
it is said, stood in some respects as the
original heroine of the same Christian
name in Scott's "Ivanhoe.” Among
the intimate friends of Mlss Gratz was
Matilda Hoffman, with whom Wash-
ington Irving was in love. In 1817 Irv
ing visited Sir Walter at Abbotsford,
where he spent several days. During
one of their rambles among the hills
the author of the “Sketch Book” de
scribed Miss Gratz to his host, who was
so impressed with what he heard that
he resolved to make her a character in
one of his works. "lvanhoe” was fin
ished in 1819, and in a letter aceom
panying a presentation copy to Irving.
Scott inquired, "How do you like you
Rebecca? Does the Rebecca 1 have pli‘
tured compare well with the patte.-..
given?” A plain marble scab on a oh
used burying ground at Philadelph...
marks the last resting place of "the;
beautiful daughter of Zion."

California Cctarrh Cure is especially
prepared for the treatment of the mu-
cous membrane. It alloys the inflam-
mation, checks the disegse, and arrests
and repairs the decay of this delicate.
lining. The ravages of cotarrh may be
increased by impure blood, but purify-
ing the blood will neither cure cstorrh,
relieve hay fe'ver, nor clean and purify
the nasal passages after a cold; while no
case of catarrh, even if the patient has
impure blood,fails to yield to California
Catarrh Cure.

Inrtbe case of a cold the treatinent
may be begun as early as possible, but
should be continued till the last trace
has diammeared. ‘

In 1 a mi cctarrb the directions on
each bottle have only to be followed
till a core is effected, then, with care
of each cold. one may be free from
chronic catanh forever.

Cotcrrh of the stomach presupposes

nasal cstorrh, and is cured in the some

In the case of hay fever, the earlier
the treatment is begun the better, but
used at any. time relief will be obtained
and persistence will result in a cure.

California Cctarrh Cure is sold by all

drapery screen the windows. .

The furniture is luxurious and uphol-
stered with brocade in shades of blue and

white to match the woodwork of the room.

lamp. The portieres are heavy in empire
pattern, which is also carried out in some
of the mahogany furniture in the room.
A desk for women is in one corner;

Mrs. McKinley’s boudoir is most attract-
ive with dresden silk drapings and a pret-
tily set dressing table. The marble tiling
is beautiful. Cut glass vases are kept filled
with the choicest long stemmed roses, and
several large palms add to the beauty of
the rooms. A liveried servant will be in
attendance outside the door.

The meals for the president and Mrs.
McKinley will be served in their apart-
ments. The china will be blue and white
and of very fine wear, while the cut glass.

A woman’s physical
life is wrapped up in
the special organs of

. woman becomes
healthy and strong. Dr. R. V. Pierce of
Buffalo, N. Y., has made a. life-study of this
problem of rcptoring health and strength
to women. His “Favorite Prescription”
is the most successful remedy that has ever
been known forwomen’s eculiar ailments.
Its sale exceeds the com ined sales of all
other medicines for women. It cures the
most obstinate uterine diseases. It oes
directly to the internal or anism whic is
the real seat of all the trou les. It imparts
vigor and health where they are most'
needed; heals ulceration; stops the weak-
ening drains ; promotes regularity; restores
muscular, power to the ligaments, thus cer-
recting displacements of special organs in
the only natural way. .
