NOTE
This collection, gathered years ago by Augustin Daly for the adornment of his Theater and now to be scat- tered forever, will awaken recollections of a varied sort in the minds of those who view them. For many they will call up visions of the theater of their youth and recall the voices that greet us no longer. They will bring recollections of an era of the New York stage whose splendor, in all that goes to make the theater an institution of culture, has not been surpassed.
The collection includes not only portraits of members of the company which Mr. Daly kept together so many years, including Miss Rehan, Miss Davenport, Miss Dreher, Miss Kingdon, Mrs. Gilbert, Mr. Drew, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Lewis, but also many others conspicuous in the earlier history of the stage, such as "Kitty" Clive, Nell Gwynn, Mrs. Cibber, Mrs. Siddons, Garrick, Cooke, Wallack, Booth, Forrest, Salvini, Sothern, Mme. Janaus- chek, Adelaide Neilson, Charlotte Cushman and many others whose day is gone forever. Many of these por- traits deserve a place in the National Portrait Gallery which, sooner or later must be established, the Hall of Fame in which a nation records its gratitude toward its favorites.

The opening of this Theater was attended by an incident that set London talking. Palmer opened without a license when the city magistrate, on the complaint of his rivals at Covent Garden and Drury Lane, summoned him before the court. The manager appeared, but pleading that he had left his license at home, left the room and quietly turned the key in the lock. When the door was broken open it was too late to interfere with the performance. This theater was burned twice, the last time in 1828, when known as the Brunswick, with great loss of life.
