Agnes Booth-Schoeffel. 
In the death of Agnes Booth-Schoeffel, 
who died in Boston Sunday aged 63 
years, Manchester loses one of its pi- 
oneer summer residents and the owner of 
the Hotel Masconomo property, where 
in years past many noted people of the 
stage as well as others famed in other 
walks of life were wont to summer. 
Mrs. Schoeffel, who had been ailing 
for the past year, was born in Sydney, 
Australia, and as Mary Agnes Laud 
Rookes made her debut as a child dancer. 
She was a leading lady with Edwin For- 
rest in 1865 and supported many other 
prominent actors of her day winning 
many laurels. She married three times, 
two of her husbands being members of 
the profession,—Harry Perry and Junius 
Booth. In 1885 she became the wife of 
the well known Boston stage and opera 
manager, John B. Schoeffel. 
The remains were brought to Man- 
chester for burial Wednesday. 
Keith's Theatre. 
The suggestion has been made that 
Denman Thompson construct a_ play 
that would giye his many admirers an 
opportunity to see ‘‘ Joshua Whitcomb ”’ 
in all those incidents in which this fa- 
mous character has been seen by the 
public during the past 30 years. For in- 
stance, in ‘‘The Old Homestead’’ 
with which everybody is familiar, his ex- 
periences are both amusing and at the 
same time have that touch of pathos that 
appeals to everybody. The same may 
be said to be true of the sketch ‘‘Joshua 
Whitcomb’’ which Mr. Thompson is 
now playing at Keith’s, and which has 
brought back memories of 25 years ago

to thousands of theatre goers, while 
many others who became attached to 
**Joshua’’ in “ The Old Homestead’’ 
welcome this incident in his career which 
is entirely new to them. While the 
sketch now being played at Keith’s is 
the one in which ‘* Joshua Whitcomb ”’ 
was originally produced, it must be re- 
membered that this also was developed 
into a play which preceded ‘* The Old 
Homestead.’’ It is now suggested that 
Mr. Thompson string all these incidents 
into one long play that would last proba- 
bly 6 or 7 hours, ‘* Joshua Whitcomb ”’ 
being, of course, the character around 
whom everything would hinge.
