TAYLOR, Mary Cecilia, actress, born in New York city, 13 March, 1827; died there, 10 November, 1866. She began her career as chorus-singer at the New York National and Park theatres, and gradually won her way to the representation of small parts and soubrette and burlesque performances, until she attained a respectable rank as a comedian and opera-singer. On a few occasions she appeared in Brooklyn, Albany, and Boston, but during most of her career was connected with the Olympic, Brougham's, and Button's theatres, of New York city. Several years before her death Miss Taylor married William O. Ewen, a merchant, and retired from the stage. She was personally attractive and her voice, though small, was agreeable, but her style suffered from want of refinement. She had winning ways, which charmed the public and for years rendered " Our Mary," as she was called, a very general favorite.
