[Actors And Actresses.]

[Their Adopted Patronymies and Their
Names in Private Life.]

[If the reasons were given by actors and ac-
tresses for the assumption of fictitious names
it would be itself make the most interesting
portion of the history of the stage. The vo-
taries of the Thespian art, for numerous un-
accountable reasons, have buried their indi-
viduality, and even their personality, in
names suited excellently for programmes, and
one reason for all the pretty names one sees is
that they are dictated by the fancy of the
wearer and cling to the person through a
whole lifetime. Following is a revised list of
