Nash, Mary
Nash, Mary (1885–1976), actress. A native of Troy, New York, she studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts before making her debut in 1904. After playing important supporting roles opposite Ethel Barrymore at the Empire Theatre, she scored major successes as Cecily Rand in The City (1909), Wanda Kelly in The Woman (1911), and Marcelle in The Man Who Came Back (1916). Nash continued in leading assignments throughout the 1920s in such plays as Captain Applejack (1921), The Lady (1923), and A Lady's Virtue (1925), and was Henrietta in a 1926 revival of The Two Orphans. Her sister, Florence (1888–1950), was also a popular performer.

applejack
applejack brandy made by distilling hard cider or fermented apple pomace. Another method of making applejack, now rarely used, is to let fermented cider freeze and then to remove the ice. It was one of the most popular drinks among the early settlers of North America and remained so for a long time in rural areas. |
