SRINniTPLAYED HERE AT $8 PER WEEK Underwent Many Hardships During Stay at Old Phila delphia Museum Otis Hklnner has a warm place In his heart tot Philadelphia, which In the early das of his stage career was the scene of so many vicissitudes and where In the later days of his success ho and Mrs. Skinner elected to make their home. In 1878. when a vounir man. Skinner came to this city with a letter from P.1" T. Barnum, the famous showman and a friend of his family, to William Da vldge, manager of the Philadelphia Museum, now Dumont's Theatre, on Arch street, Davldgo had ndvertlsed for actors, and Skinner was, engaged at $8 per week. Then followed the das of hardship for the young actor: He rented a tiny room In Wood street, but even so it was a great strain to pay the rent. He had brought with him to this city a lit tle zinc trunk full of books on the thea tre, and from tlmo to time was forced to dip Into these ntd sell them at Leary's In order to appease his land lady. At the end of the season he left Philadelphia, but minus his trunk, which remained as security for tho rest of his board. When he returned at the Wal nut Street Theatre the next season, at a salary of ?15 a week, he went back to the Wood street place to redtrcm the trunk, but found his former landlady had departed. In the ' later dus of his prosperity Otis Skinner always found a friendly greeting In Phllnde'phia, just as was tho case this week at the Broad Street Theatre, where he returned In his old success, "For the Honor of the Fam ily." Mr. nnd Mrs Skinner arc greatly favored residents of Bryn Mawr. Mrs. Sklnntr at the present time Is traveling representative of the Stage Woman's Wai Relief. They have one daughter. Miss Cornelia Skinner, who now is a first year student at Bryn Mawr College. WALNUT Next Week Positively Last Week Engagement Extended POPULAR!
