notice. It was common at that time to have social gatherings, called Temperance Tea-Parties, where the price of admission was very low, and the amuse* ment such as the guests could provide among them- selves. Among the rest, little theatrical pieces^ of their own contrivance, were very popular, and in these Matt was a useful performer. He was very little, but very bright^ and he did for parts where a larger boy would not have answered. He spoke pieces, too, and tasted the pleasure of applause.
...This, perhaps, led him, when he was older, and had come to America, away from all his acquaintances, to take pleasure in attending the theatre; from which sprung the desire to become an actor. But it was no inferior station in the profession that he thought of. To be a Macready, a Forrest, or a Booth, iJuU was the object of his ambition. Mr. B.
