Excerpt from Life and Memoirs of William Warren, Boston's Favorite Comedian: With a Full Account of His Golden Jubilee, Fifty Years of an Actor's Life Fifty Years An Actor! And today, Warren, in the enjoyment of almost perfect health, with memory and apprehension as keen and quick as when he first made his bow behind the footlights so long ago, still enjoys the most honorable pre-eminence in his profession. The great comedian in his dramatic creations today upon the Museum stage gives evidence that he is in the plentitude of his artistic power, and offers the promise of yet a long career of histrionic triumphs in his own loved Boston. The esteem in which Mr. Warren is held by our best citizens was shown in the letter he received not long since from Mr. Thomas S. Appleton and Mr. Nathan Appleton, the brother-in-law of Mr. Longfellow, Governor Long and others, requesting him to sit for his picture and to accept of a complimentary benefit. The actor could not refuse so heartfelt a tribute to his genius as an actor and his worth as a citizen. He named October 25th, 1882, as the date when he would be pleased to accept the benefit, and expressed his willingness to give sittings to Mr. Fred. P. Vinton.
