Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
REHAN, ADA (186o- ) , American actress, whose real name was Crehan, was born in Limerick, Ireland, on the 22nd of April 186o. Her parents removed to the United States when she was five years old, and it was in
Newark
 , N.J., that in 1874 she made her first stage
appearance
  in a small part in Across the Continent. She was with Mrs John Drew's stock company in Philadelphia, John W. Albaugh's in Albany and
Baltimore
 , and other companies for several seasons, playing every kind of
minor
  part, until she became connected with Augustin
Daly
 's theatrical management in 1879. Under his training she soon showed her talents for vivid, charming portrayal of character, first in modern and then in older comedies. She was the heroine in all the
Daly
  adaptations from the German, and added to her triumphs the parts of Peggy in Wycherly's Country Girl, Julia in the Hunchback, and especially Katharina in The Taming of the Shrew, besides playing Rosalind and
Viola
 . Miss Rehan accompanied Daly's company to England (first in 1884), France and Germany (1886). Her life-size portrait as Katharina is in the picture-gallery, and her bust, with Ellen
Terry
 's, at the entrance to the theatre in the Shakespeare Memorial at
Stratford
 -on-Avon.
