Excerpt from Juliet's Lovers, Vol. 1 of 3 After playing comparatively trivial parts for two or three years, she came to the great opportunity which arrives in the life of every genius. A manager recognised her merit, and gave her an Opening in London in Shakespearian drama. This was absolutely her metier; in life and on the stage she was cut out for a Shakespearian heroine. First she played Beatrice, and won the town with her smiles; then Rosa lind, and captivated it with her grace; then she was given the final, the sublime opportunity! She played Juliet; and Lon don succumbed to her youth, her beauty, her divine genius, her tragic, emotional atmosphere. But she only played it on the stage for a week; then she deserted the footlights to play the same part in private life.
