The old man has no money and pleads for a little time. The landlady is obdurate and orders him into the street. He goes to his old trunk, takes therefrom a scrap book, which he opens, and it brings back to him memories of years gone by when he was the idol of the public. He sees himself as the Melancholy Dane; the Heroic Antony; the Dramatic Richelieu, and a Brooding Othello. They all pass before him as in a dream, and finally the book drops from his hands and he dies. Written by
