ADA REHAN The news of the death of Ada Rehan in New York, early in the week was another sad reminder to theatre goers that the favorites of the old school of the drama are rapidly passing. To some of us who knew her fairly well and admired her on and off the stage, the announcement was akin to a personal bereavement. In an old scrap book, we find a clipping from "The Theatre" of London, published in 1890, which gives a fair idea of Ada Rehan's stage career up to that time. An excerpt reads as follows: "iMiss Ada Rehan, whose late 'performance or Catherine in "Taming of The Shrew," is admitted, ly one of the finest ever Been, was born in the city of Limerick on April 22, 1860, was taken to America when only six years of age, and has made the United .States her home ever since. It was quite iby accident that she joined the theatrical profession. Miss Rehan was traveling for pleas ure with her sister and brother-in-law. A mem ber of his company was taken ill, and the fair sub ject of our sketch volunteered to 'go on' and play the part, that of an old crone, and so made her debut in 187G. A year later she joined, in Phil adelphia, the stock company, then managed 'by Mrs. John Drew (mother of John Drew, the late Petruchlo at the Gaiety). "A season at the Louisville theatre followed, during which Miss Rehan played Ophelia to Mr. Booth's Hamlet, Virginia with Mr. John McCul lough, and leading juvenile parts in support of other stars. These, with a season at the Albany and Baltimore theatres, were a good schooling, and her experience before Mr. Augustin Daly en. gaged her for his present company, and she has heen under his management ever since. "'Miss Rehan made her New York debut in 1879, and among the various roles in which she has met with signal success throughout the American con tinent, may he mentioned Odette in Sardou's play of that name; Mrs. Ford in 'The Merry Wives o Windsor;' George Tidd in 'Dandy Dick;' Agatha Poskit in 'The Magistrate;' and Sylvia in Far quhar's 'Rrecruiting Officer.' "The English public have confirmed American appreciation of Miss Rehan's incomparable talent in roles in which she has been seen in London and the provinces, viz: Hipolita in Cibber's 'She Would and She Wouldn't;' Peggy in "The Coun try Girl;' Niobe in 'A Night Off;' and Nancy in 'Nancy & Co.,' all produced at the Strand theatre in 1886."
