Sallie Partington, The War-time Actress - The Black Swan #1     January 1927 - February 1928

There died in Richmond on January 10, 1907, at 1111 Graham Street, in long retirement and utter obscurity, Sallie Partington. Miss Partington was born in London a few days before the death of Lafayette. She sailed for America during the Crimean war and here became intimately acquainted with the assassin of Abraham Lincoln. During the War Between the States she became a very conspicuous figure at Richmond where, for many years, she was a theatrical favorite and where she was billed as "The Star of the South."

Sallie Partington - August 4, 1935

This is the story of Richmond's own favorite actress, Sallie Partington, whose career began here as a child, who became the idol of the soldiers of the South, who on the stage of the Richmond Theatre played leading roles opposite the great Wallack and Joe Jefferson, and many of the other stars, and in after years lived in obscurity and poverty within seven short blocks of the scene of her wartime triumphs.
