Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life and Memoirs of William Warren, Boston's Favorite Comedian: With a Full Account of His Golden Jubilee, Fifty Years of an Actor's Life
The close of the present theatrical season brings with it, with the bare exception of a single season, the thirty-sixth continu ous year of the connection of the gentleman whose name stands at the head of this article, with the Boston Museum.
And this, we dare say, is a longer connection with one theatrical establishment than ever has been enjoyed by any one actor in the whole history of the stage. It is a proud re?ection, and should be an enduring monument to the memory of the actor, that that community, in so long honoring him, has been none the less honored by him. It is a question if ever such a dramatic favorite was known in our city as William Warren. But it is not alone as the actor that Mr. Warren is respected, or that, long after he ceases to be a thing of life, his memory will be cherished by young and old. He will be held in kindly remembrance by every one whose good fortune it was ever to have been associated with him, for his scholarly attain ments, his good citizenship, his social qualities, which are so endearing, and the blamelessness of his gentle life. No person ever connected with the stage has won more honors than Mr Warren, and of a verity no one has worn those honors with a more becoming modesty.
