Y., In September, ISM, with Helen Barry, In Dion Bouolceult's "London Assurance," in whloh she played Orace Harks way. She wss at that tine bnt otteen years old, and her Ont long dresses were worn In that part, and In fact, when ihe sought tbe engagement sbs borrowed a dress snd bonnet, aa ahe thought Mlaa Barry would not be likely to en gage her If her yonthfulness waa known. She re- mained In Hiss Barry's company and played anob tarta aa Leonl in "A Woman'a Stratagem," viola In '■Vlotor Dorand," Edith in "A Lesson In Love" and the heavy part in "Love and Liberty," whloh was Bnt on at the Onion Square Theatre,New York Olty. lenrr Ooy Oarleton ssw Miss Busby's performance In "Victor Dnrend," and engaged her, through J, M. HU1, lor "Tbe Pembertons," of which Cora Ed- sail was tho atar. In this play ahe had thepartnexi to Mlas Bdsail. The piece only ran four weeks, bnt dnrlng that time w. H. Harden saw her performance and engsged hsr for Smart Robaon's company, in whtob sbs played Lady Marvin "Tbe Henrietta," sod Blanche In "la Marriage a Failure' The following season Mr. Ronton promoted her and gave her ths roles of Mrs. Vanalatyce In "The Henrietta," Mra. Lynoh In "Married Lite," Oonalance Neville In the "She Stoops to Conquer," and. when Mrs. Robeon wsa 111, Kate Hardcastle In the but named play. She was next engaged by Wm. H. Orans, with whose company ahe played Margaret In "Ths American Minister," Mrs. Armitong In "The Sena- tor," Helen Van Sprague in "Brother John," and Mary Marlowe In "On Probation." Following Ibis engagement she Joined Richard MansOeld's Oom- pany and played Msrcslle in "A Parisian Romance." Kathleen In "Bean Brntnmel,"and Louis, In "Arms snd tbe Man." The oonsplonona merit displayed by Mlaa Busby dnrlng this latter engagement at- tracted the attention ot Charles Pronman, and caused blm to make her an oner which baa resulted In tne recent signing or a oontraot, whereby Mlsi Busby will play under his management for the ensuing two years, during whloh tlmo she will doubtless add greatly to her pn-senl fame through the opportunities this engagement will offer. Before the oloae of the present seeson she will be seen In a new play In this city, snd ber recent success here will Insure her a most oordlsl greeting. Mies Busby's career gives pronilso or s brilliant future. She poaressee many natural ad- vantages, among which are voulh, remirkable oomellnees. a ohannlng figure, and a walk a: d car- riage whloh snow firmness, slrength and exceed- ing grace. Her voloe la resonant and musical, her aruonlaUon distinct and hsr reading marktd by Inielltgsnoe. She possesses great verseUlliy, and hu an eioellent knowledge oftae technique of net- Ing. She Is ambitions, and seeks to win nigh r. nk Intheprofessionnyoonaolenilous striving sndi.b- soloie deserving, and there Is no yonngsAtresa upon Ihe stage who has belter reason to bops for ultlmalo triumph.
