(Portraits reversed) JAS.--TIERNEY & WAYNE--CHAS.] WILLIAM FOOTE, the well-known minstrel manager, began and ended his career in that branch of theatricals. In 1861 he was treasurer with M. C. Campbell’s Minstrels; and in 1864 was agent for Haverly and Mallory; this being one of Haverly’s earliest minstrel ventures. Subsequently he was associated with Sam Sharpley, La Rue and many of the earlier burnt cork troupes. In conjunction with Mr. Haverly, on January 1, 1876, he re-organized the New Orleans Minstrels, and when Haverly amalgamated the famous Mastodons in 1878, Mr. Foote was manager, and continued in that capacity for several years. William Foote was born in Utica, N. Y., February 22, 1844; he died in Albany, N. Y., March 2, 1899. J. C. CAMPBELL (George Keller St. John), better known as “Pomp” Campbell, from the fact that he portrayed the character of “Pomp” in the play of that name in 1871, was a printer by trade, in Dayton, Ohio. He was an excellent comedian and equally clever as a tambourine or bone player. His first important engagement was with the Morris Minstrels in the middle 60’s; subsequently he was with Kelly and Leon in New York, opening there August 31, 1868; also with John Hooley and Hawxhurst’s Minstrels in Brooklyn, N. Y., in 1873. J. C. Campbell was born in Frederick, Md.; he died in Brooklyn, N. Y., January 26, 1875; age 31 years. GEO. FROTHINGHAM, the famous basso, who created and played Friar Tuck in “Robin Hood,” more than 3,000 times, was many years in the minstrel profession, and as far back as 1869 was with Dougherty, Wild, Barney and Mac’s Minstrels, also Sharpley’s, Billy Morris’ and Swayne Buckley’s Minstrels. In the late 70’s and early 80’s he sat in the middle with Carncross and Dixey’s and Carncross’ Minstrels, respectively, in Philadelphia. An interesting photo of Mr. Frothingham will be found elsewhere in the book. George Frothingham was born in Boston, Mass., April 12, 1844. DICK RALPH. This good old-timer made his first appearance at Burtis’ Varieties, Brooklyn, N. Y., under the name of Master Tommy, in 1860, doing a jig and the “Essence”; in 1861 he was with Christy’s Minstrels under the name of Mast. Dick Reynolds; a year later he was “Mast. Brigg” with Campbell’s Minstrels, in New York City. In 1863 he decided that his own name was good enough, and as such he opened at Hooley’s Minstrels, Brooklyn, N. Y. Other minstrel companies he was identified with were--Cool White’s Broadway Minstrels; Hooley’s, New York City (201 Bowery); Cotton and Sharpley’s, New York City; return to Hooley’s, Brooklyn, 1869; Kelly and Leon’s, New York City; Sam Sharpley’s, and Kelly and Leon’s, Chicago.
