THE MM MANAGE® AND ACTHOR OF

"Who was the first regular manager?" It was Joe Sweeney of Lynehburg, Va. He first brought the bamo, speaking of that, into notoriety, 183d, W, '38, and traveling with circuses. His success was nearij* equal to T. D. Rice's. During the winter seasons he played star engagements throughout the United States, singing tho songs of 'Johnny Boker,' 'Whar did you com® from," •Who's dat nigger dar ft peeping,* etc. Before the regular and, he went to England, Ireland and .Scotland, sinking with much shecess. After organizing a company of bis own, he died in Washington, In 1850 or '37." "Andwho, In order, comes next to Swoon^T

WeU, I mast mention the great author of. 'I wish I was in Dixie/ President Lincoln wished that proclaimed as a national song. He said once, 'If they (the South) steal the country—don't let them stoal that song.' fimmett has furnished minstrel troupes with many of their songN, and nearly all their popular walk arounds, such as 'xVin't 1 Ulad,' •Come out of the wilderness,' etc. Artemus Ward wrote one popular sonp. Hand down the Trampnet.'. .IIo got the points from a camp-meeting in Ohio."

SAM. & SANDPOBD'S CARKKR.

It is only &ir, Sam., that von should tell us something of yourself, for we don't want the play of Hamlet with the Hamlet left out.*

I entered the field as a boy in 1885. The present Ole Bull Myers played the Violin and I sung the songs 'Coal Black Rose,' 'Sitting on a rail,' Ac. Afterward I organised a company consisting of Dan. Rice, Von Bouiiurst, Master Boston and others, and we traveled through Pennsylvania. Finally, in the ftdl of 18431 organised a company of my own made up of Wm. Myers, (brother of Ole Bull) John Diamond, Eph Horn, and Puruell. That company disbanded the same year, and, I then assumed the management of the Buokly family. That summer wo took a tour South from Washington, having for our traveling companies Henry Clay. John Tyler ana Robt. J. Whalker. We cave concerts at the Springs while at White Sulphur, playing the tatnborino in too railroad overture, I fell over after butting mv head against it. Clay ran from the audience to pick me up, and joined heartily In the laugh with the rest when he found out it was all in the play. At Lexington, Ky., Mr. Clay took the com pany out to Ashland, where

AVO

sung

for Ihe gratification of his family ana friends. President Polk, who saw the performance in Washington, gave us letters to friends in Nashville, and we sung at his home in Tennessee. We also visited the Hermitage. Success was great, and we went to New Orleans, stopping at the principal towns on the way. While in New Orleans I* was induced by Sol. Smith—father of Mark Smith, who recently died in New York —to take the company to England. There and in Scotland we had great success, and traveled under the auspices of Hanry Russell, author of 'Man the Life Boat,' 'The Maniac,' «fcc. After a tour of some thirty months we returned to the United States, just previous to the election of General Taylor."

How did you find things on your return?" I found that Christy's minstrels had been organised. They were the first to make a standpoint in New York, and that gave them a wide reputation. However, we played at the Bowery Theater for two months, and then located on Broadway as a rival of Christy, but concluding that ons company was enough for New York I went to Philadelphia and opened Musical Fund Hall, and after four mounths changed to Mason Hall, on Chestnut street, remaining there until the property was sold. I then built an opera house on the corner of Twelfth ana Chestnut streets, which was destroyed by fire in the height of a prosperous* season."

POOR AUTHORS.

After that reverse what did you do "Why, I took the road again, traveling South, and had with mo Nelson Kneasa." "Who's he?"

He was the author and originator of very many popular songs. He and Stephen Foster are the two bards of the minstrel. Kneasm wrote 'Hear the whoone upon the hills,' 'Wake up Jake,'

Ben Bolt,' 'Hold your horses,' 'Juniata Johnson,' etc. kneass belonged to Philadelphia, and as a boy was dressed in petticoats on the stage. Ho was with the Woods, at Park Theater, In New York, when English opera was first produced. He died poor and unattended by friends in Cincinnati. I dislike to say it, bnt be was found dead in a water clucet. Tbe publishers of 'Ben Bolt' made $f0.0()0 from that one song alone, and its author often needed bread. Foster, too, was a great genius. He was tj»* author of 'Ola Folks at Home,' The Okl Kentucky Horn*.''Hard times come again to-morrow,' 'Uoclo Ned,' 'llama In the cold ground,' and 'Come where my love lies dreaming." He died in Pittsburgh ten years ago, very poor. He did not seem to value money, and spent It, wb he had It, like water."

You were Maying you took to the road again?" Yes: and after a toor I returned to Philadelphia to locate again. Did so on" Eleventh street, at the piaee now occu£l«l by (Cameras* and Dixey's minstrels. That plane may regarded as the homestead of minstrelsy."

And did yt« make money "Inmy iirat effort there I lost#5,tf)0, but motived on three months more. Hie result was fkfomble, and the first year I made ffcMXKL turning away people nightly. Had with me W. P. (tolling, the first man who draased as a woman. He tt«ed to ring like Caroline Richings, and very often she used to came in with fewr father, Peter Hichings, to bear him. He Is now in England wit the Christy's. Th«n I had Dan Gardner aad lixey. They ditwced as women, loo. The establishment was a kind of rendezvous I til the actors.

Well, Sam, how did you lose all your money?" Don't speak of it. It was done in various ways. McClellan's failure to be elected President cost me ¥20,000. Oil speculations and dabbling in stocks ami gold sunk a great deal more, and my voice has raisiHl the roof over more than one church in Philadelphia, and Christmas and New Years I used to publicly give away bread to the poor."
