Martinot, who retired from the stage
in 1901, when she married her mana
ger, brother of Olaa Nethersole, was
taken to the psychopathic ward of
Bellevue hospital today, suffering from
acute insanity. She became violent in
the home of friends early today.
Mrs. Nethersole, whose husband is
in England, has been living in Yonk
ers. Se has been busy for a long time
writing plays, and recently tried to re
turn to the stage. The strain caused a
partial nervous breakdown. She ap
peared at the home of the Shaws yes
terday in an excited condition. She
told them the Italian who had been at- [
tending to the furnace of her Yonkers '
home, had threatened her and she was
in fear of her life. She asked the ’
Shaws to take her in for the night.
Shaw was awakened at daybreak by
screams in the court of the apartment'
house. He found Miss Martinot scant
ily clad, cowering in a corner, shriek- j
! ing for the police to arrest imaginary
persons who were seeking to kill her.
i Sadie Martinet’s stage career began
| when She was 14 years of age, when
j she graduated into the chorus of a
i vaudeville theater from participation
in church concerts in Brooklyn. He’-
father was a prosperous silk merchant.
She won rapid promotion and came
under the notice of Dion Boucicault,
under whose care she became a star
Jof musical comedy. She achieved a
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1916
popularity that wou her the sobriequet
ol the “Puritanical Queen of Bohemia."
She was the original “Colleen Bawn,’’
that delighted the play-going public of
a generation ago.
She dissipated several fortunes and
was three times married; the first
time when she was 17. The first inti
mation of her financial difficulties
came in 1894, when Miss JJartinot dis
posed at auction of a private art col
lection valued at more than SIOO,OOO.
