Miss Ellen Terry whose personality and genius have placed her amongst the foremost on the English Stage and whose humanitarian impulses, as powerful as [?], have out her talents at the service of the Hartford Hospital appears before us tonight. She shared with Henry Irving the distinction of being at the head of the English profession. In her present semi-retirement her opinion is golden especially concerning the heroines of Shakespeare, whom for so long she presented in flesh and blood to enthusiastic audiences. Miss Terry creates the realization of what the poet imagined. She incorporates the fancies, and in her comments she shows why and wherefore these women are loveable, and why they have come down the centuries and enrapture us now, as they did the audiences in Queen Elizabeth's days. Thus art in a great and talented woman, makes alive, figures that would be gone forever, and by the magic of her personality and her comments gives them reality. In the help which Miss Terry tonight gives the Hartford Hospital she exhibits that humanity which has always graced great artists. She is a women who gives aid wherever she can. To the great artist and the true woman the city of Hartford owes thanks. To the re-creator of poetic characters praise. To Ellen Terry always love and admiration for what she did in her public and private character. Her Beatrice, her Rosalind, her Portia will live and remain a memory of the Theatre and the public. Her comments on our explanations of these characters are the most valuable heritages she can give to art, for it needs a true woman and a finished, ripe artist to understand them. At Miss Terry's first appearance in America, at the Hudson Theatre, New York. November 3rd, a committee of persons prominent in Literature. Art and Science greeted Miss Terry with the following welcome written by Kate Douglas Wiggin, author of "Rebecca of Sunny Brook Farm." And was read by the Rev. Percy Strickney Grant. The names in this book are interlined throughout with radiant memories and happy anticipations, tho' they will be visible to no one but yourself as they are in sympathetic ink of a per cultivar confidential tint. This little volume is a book of welcome from certain loyal admirers to that incarnation of poetic harmony we call Ellen Terry; the [?], the unapproachable, the imperishable beloved of the English speaking stage. Since that star danced under which you were born, up to this present moment, dear Ellen Terry, each of us would have said, as Portia to Bassanio - "One half of me is yours, the other half yours..... And so all yours!" Kate Douglas Wiggin. Programme continued on next page. Vacuum cleaners for rent by the day Phone Charter 2001 or Call at Chapin's, 25 Asylum. Mr. Auto Owner!
