REHAN, Ada, actress, born in Limerick, Ireland, 22 April, 1859. She came to this country at an early age, was educated in the Brooklyn public schools, and made her first public appearance on the stage at fifteen years of age, but subsequently resumed her studies for a year. After two seasons in Mrs. Drew's theatre, Philadelphia, she joined Augustin Daly's company in New York city. She has been eminently successful in light comedy roles, such as Katherine in "Taming of the Shrew," and the principal female characters in such plays as " Cinderella at School,"" Needles and Pins," "A Wooden Spoon,"" The Railroad of Love," "After Business Hours," and "Our English Friend," Miss Rehan met with great success and favorable criticism when she appeared in London with Daly's American company in May, 1888.
