Three-quarters of a Century on the Stage.
It is very rare, that an actress celebrates her seventy-liith year of consecutive service oh the stage of the same theater. This event, perhaps unique in dr matic annals, has just occurred at Stuttgart, where Fr>tu Louise Schmidt, of the Royal Court theater, has now completed her threequarters of a century of uninterrupted engagements with that house. She made her debut in 1814, being then 9 years old.
