ham, and Ada Harland. Harry Beckett (afterward low comedian at Wallack's) accompanied them. They appeared at Wood's Museum on September 28th of the year before mentioned. The comely women, with their streaming locks of yellow, set the town wild. Miss Webber made a hit with her song, "Walking Down Broadway." She remained with the Thompson troupe for some time. She then took out a burlesque party of her own, but the venture resulted disastrously. The later years of her life were spent industriously. In 1871 she was married to W. S. Mullaly, the orchestra leader. In 1875 they were divorced She subsequently married Robert Britton. Her last appearance was at the Adelphi, Buffalo, with the Night Hawks company, a few days before her death. She was buried in the Forest Lawn Cemetery. J. Falconer Young. Died suddenly at Stirling, Scotland, March 18th. He was playing Old Eccles in" Caste " just previous to his death. During forty-five years' experience on the stage he acted at nearly every theatre of importance in England. R. W. Younge. Born in England in 1822. Died at Newcastle-on-Tyne, June 5th. He was a well-known actor in his own country. He once visited America and played in Edwin Booth's company. Sir Charles Laurence Young. Died in London, England, on September 11th. He was the youngest son of Sir William Laurence Young, Bart. The elder brothers dying-one in the Crimea, the other at Sebastopol-Charles succeeded to the baronetcy. He took up playwriting for amateurs as a pastime, and afterward decided to try his fortune in writing for the professional stage. He wrote "Jim the Penman." He could get no manager in London or New York to produce it, and finally he hired a theatre in the former capital and put it on himself. The piece scored a pronounced success, and the American rights to it were secured by A. M. Palmer. Brought out by him at the Madison Square Theatre on November 1st, 1886, it made an instantaneous hit. The drama ran the entire season in New York, and was revived at the beginning of the season of 1887-88. It is being plaved to large profit by several travelling companies under Mr. Palmer's management. "The Scapegoat," another piece by Sir Charles, was produced by Mrs. Henrietta Chanfrau at the Fourteenth Street Theatre, in the spring of 1887. It was a financial failure, DRAMATIC BIBLIOGRAPHY.
