Jones Jenn, manso servant May Galyor Mr. Alnley is an English actor, who became very popular In New York in "The Pretty Sister of Jose." Maude Adams wa born in Salt Lake In November, 1S72. In a house built by her grandfather, Barnabas Adams, at the corner of Seventh East 'and Eighth South. Her own name Is KisKadden, but she adopted for the stage her mother's moth-er's family name. She first appeared on the stage in the fall of 1S73, at the Salt Lake theater, when she wap ten months old. Her mother gives this account ac-count of the interesting debut; "Maude was Just 10 months old. The play was the farce of 'The Lost Child' and the date was the fall of 1S73. The theater files would tell the precise lime. I well remember the occasion. I had appeared In the first piece, and was dressing to go home. I lived then at the old Stephens house, just below the city hall. Mary, our nurse, frequently used to wrap the baby up and bring hor over to the theater, and we would walk home together. This night sho arrived with Maude, and we were on tho point of leaving the theater when a commotion arose over the fact that the baby in the farce, 'The Lost Child,' was In a 'tantrum' and couUl not be taken upon tho stage. It had made one entrance and the time was approaching ap-proaching for its second entrance. It was only 3 months old, and when Phil Margetts, Mr. Graham, Mr. Maiben and Harry Horseley appealed to me to allow al-low Maude to be substituted, I remember remem-ber well telling them that Maude was 10 months old and tho audience would be sure to see the difference. There was no time, however, to debate It and Maudo was placed on a tray and made the entrance. The audience no sooner saw her than they set up a roar which so attracted the child that she put up one hand and waved It at the audience, which set the house wild again." Miss Adams made her first formal appearance in San Francisco when she was about C years old. She played at various points on the coast and elsc-j elsc-j where, including Salt Lake, and going as far south as Galveston. When she was nearly 9 she was brought here and placed In the Collegiate Institute, where she remained until she was 13, Then she returned to the stage, playing with much success. She met the Froh-mans Froh-mans first when she was In her 10th year, and then came In 1S36 her Important Import-ant appearance with E. H. Sothern, under the management of Daniel Froh-man, Froh-man, in "Lord ChUmley." This engagement engage-ment required the expenditure of from 5400 to $500 for gowns, but Miss Adams and her mother decided to risk the amount, even though the salary offered of-fered was but 525 a week. Maude mado a' great hit in the play and her career was assured. She was a year In Hoyt'a "Midnight Bell" and then she became a member of Charles Frohman's stock company, appearing first in "All the Comforts of Home" and thereafter In many plays. Her first appearance as a star was in "The Little Minister," which was played at the Empire theater the-ater about 900 times. Since she has appeared ap-peared In "Romeo and Juliet," "L'AIg-Ioji." "L'AIg-Ioji." "Quality Street" and "The Pretty Sister of Jose." She goes to the coast from here, and will end her season there. She may return re-turn to Salt Lake on her way East to visit friends. Her mother will go with her to the coast. |
