she possesses remarkable versatility, aha
the range of characters ahe, portrays
extends from Shakespeare - to , modern

cleverest of present-day ' comediennes.
In proof of her wide talent it may be
mentioned that she has to her credit
the longest run ever" scored by a
woman in Shakespeare. She presented
"As You Like m for 100 nlghtf in New
York, City. " No Other woman has ever
bad . anything like so long a run in
Shakespeare, and only one other player
ever equaled IV That was Edwin, Booth,
who' at the heighth of his fame gave
100 performances or "Hamlet" in New
York. To Miss Crosman's further cred
it are runs of two, years each in New
York in "Mistress .Jfell", and" "Sweet
Kitty Bellalra." , . ::, ;
Of her Driuiant successes none nave
