A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Hiss Maude (K iskadden): A ctress, was born in Salt Lake City November 11, 1872. Her father was James Kiskadden, a business man. Her mother, a wellknown actress, Mrs. Annie A dams, the daughter of a Utah pioneer who claimed to come from John Quincy A dams stock, is still playing. When Maude was born, Annie A dams was leading woman at the Salt Lake Theatre, which enjoyed the special patronage of Brigham Young. Phil Margetts, an Englishman, now the proprietor of a liquor store in Salt Lake City, but formerly a popular comedian, claims the distinction of first putting Misa Maude A dams on the stage, or, rather, of carrying her there. The future star was just nine months old when a play called The Lost Child was being produced at the Salt Lake Theatre. She had been taken to the theatre by a nurse. Margetts was cast for the father of the lost child. At the last moment he found he was expected to fondle a rag doll. While he was lamenting this, Mrs. Kiskadden went to the wings with Maude in her arms. Margetts snatched the baby from her and dashed on to the stage. When she was five years old, in 1877, Misa Maude A dams played her first speaking part, Little Schneider, at the old Bush Theatre, San Francisco, with J. K. Emmet in one of his Fritz plays. She also played Chrystal in Chums, by David Belasco, who had just risen from call boy to stage manager at the Baldwin Theatre. In the cast were James ON eill, Lewis Morrison and the late James A. Herne. When she was six years old she was sent to school, where she remained until she was sixteen. Immediately on leaving school Miss A dams played the part of a schoolmistress in Hoyt sA Midnight Bell, produced at the Madison Square Theatre, New York, in 1888. She afterward played in Men and Women and created the part of the crippled girl in The Lost Paradise, which first attracted attention to her.
