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.
