who knows how to do business;
who has a bank account, and who,
therefore, is likely to have a good
credit rating and whose business is
a reliable, going concern.
Pay by check. It’s the modern
way to do business and to meet
your obligations. Open an account

Lotta Crabtree Dead,
Began Career on the
Pacific Coast In 1853
( Continued lrom page 1'
a $300 watch and chain. Three years
later in 1868 she appeared in New
York again, in a record-breaking en
gagement at Wallack’s Theatre when
she played with John Brougham in
his adaption from Dickens’ ‘‘Old Cur
iosity Shop,” under the title of “Lit
tle Nell, the Marchioness,” both of
which roles Lotta played with remark
able success. Brougham epitomized
her stage work by calling Lotta “the
dramatic cocktail.” She was, in the
eyes of her admirers, altogether ini
mitable, although she had imitators
by the score. A vivacious little crea
ture, full of inexhaustable ebullitions
of animal spirits and droll character,
she gave free rein to her acting with
out falling into coarseness. There
was a roughishness of innocent child
hood about her which was perhaps the
most winning quality of her acting.
On one occasion at Wallack’s, while
Lotta was playing the banjo, a cat
darted across the stage. With al
most childish wonderment, Lotta
cried out: “Why, look at that big cat!”
and then, as if suddenly remembering
where she was, went on strumming, to
the vociferous delight of the audience
which incation seemed to please her
all the more. It was in such glee and
pleasure that Lotta won her way.
In the “Firefly,” “Topsy,” “Mu
sette,” “Bob,” “Nitouche” and “The
Little Detective,” Lotta scored some
of her greatest triumphs, although
she appeared in a large number of
other plays of the light-comedy vari
ety.
In London she met with such a cold
reception, on her first visit, that she
never ventured abroad a second time.
Together with the fortune she made
on the stage, the actress added to her
wealth by shrewd investments in real
estate in many cities, and by buying
race horses with which she won large
stakes at harness meetings. She was
the owner of My Star, 2:03 3-4, once
worlds champion green pacer, which
died in 1909, and a string of other
horses which were in charge of her
brother, Jack Crabtree, at stables near
Boston.
Since her retirement in 1891, Miss
Crabtree made her home in New
Yo’k, California, and Boston.
