The Sedalia Weekly Bazoo

Miss Herbert's repertoire includes some two hundred plays. Her memory is wonderful, indeed, for 'tis seldom she has to refer to her manuscript to catch the lines. At present her husband (who, by the way, is also quite a clever actor, although now retired from that branch of business) is writing for her a new play, which she will present to the public next season. The name thereof has not yet been decided upon, but Fred. says it is sure to catch.

She has one trunk containing nothing but manuscript plays, many of which she has not had out for weeks.

The wardrobe carried by Miss Herbert would be hard to excel, and no wonder it commanded the admiration of all who had the pleasure of seeing her at the opera house. The dresses she wears in the five acts of "Camille" are of the finest material, were made in Paris, and cost far beyond what the uninitiated would suppose. As Mr. Selleck said, the duty on them would buy pretty good dresses in this country. Numerous other costumes came from Paris also, and 'tis safe to say no actress has visited Sedalia who could make a superior showing in this direction. The writer would, for the edification of the Bazoo's lady readers, like to give a description of a few of her costumes, but feels inadequate to the task.

Miss Herbert is an exception to most actresses in more things than one. She has never known what it was to play to a poor business, and it is doubtful whether there is a more successful company now on the road.
