(1858-1903)
Although born in Providence, Rhode Island, it was in Cleveland, Ohio, that he made his debut as a child actor with the Ellsler Stock Company there. He sold tickets to earn the right to act with Charlotte Cushman when she appeared in Cleveland in 1875. When Edwin Booth played Cleveland, Haworth supported him, and this led to his performing four seasons at the Boston Museum. He toured with John McCullough in 1881. Many other good roles followed.
