With Ed Gibson, as Gibson and Maxwell, he joined Spalding and Manning’s Minstrels; other minstrel organizations he was identified with were Hooley’s; Haverly’s; Emerson and Reed’s, in San Francisco; Dockstader’s, in New York, from 1886 to 1889, and Schoolcraft and Maxwell’s Minstrels. Mr. Maxwell was also of the team of Maxwell and Carroll. For ten years he appeared successfully with the Chas. H. Hoyt shows, where he was called upon to play both white and black face characters, which he did with equal facility. His portrayal of the black-face character of Othello, in the “Texas Steer,” and Sassafras Livingstone, in the “County Chairman,” received the highest encomiums from press and public. Barry Maxwell was born in New Orleans, La., October 29, 1848. QUILTER and GOLDRICH ranked with the best song and dance teams of minstrelsy. They made their first appearance in 1869 at Pittsburgh, Pa., with Harry Williams. During their partnership they played practically every first-class variety house in the country, as well as many of the principal minstrel companies, including Harry Robinson’s, Neil Bryant’s, and Kelly and Leon’s. July 19, 1874, they sailed for England, where on August 10 they made their first appearance in Liverpool with Sam Hague’s Minstrels; subsequently going to Moore and Burgess’ Minstrels in London, in each city meeting with pronounced success. They played an extended engagement with Harrigan and Hart’s Company in New York, and after the dissolution of that famous organization, June 13, 1885, they cast their fortunes with Edward Harrigan. Mr. Goldrich’s demise occurred during this period, since when Mr. Quilter has appeared mostly in dramatic and musical productions. Some of the principal black-face parts portrayed were in “Princess Bonnie” and the “Traveling Salesman.” Richard (“Dick”) Quilter was born in the County Kerry, Ireland, August 16, 1848. Peter Goldrich (MacGoldrick) was born in Trenton, N. J., he died in New York City, June 4, 1891; age 42 years. CHEEVERS and KENNEDY, originally known as the “Buffalo Boys,” a title given to them by Dan Bryant, when as the “infant wonders” they made their first appearance in New York, with Bryant’s Minstrels, doing a double clog reel April 25, 1864. The following year they went to Carncross and Dixey’s Minstrels in Philadelphia, where they remained until 1871; part of this time they were billed as Masters Joseph and Eddie. August 28, 1871, they opened with the San Francisco Minstrels in New York for the season; that same week they, in conjunction with Charley Gibbons and Bobby Newcomb, formed a dancing quartette, which was then considered quite a novelty. The following year they returned to Philadelphia as members of Frank Moran’s Minstrels. July 2, 1874, they sailed for England, opening at the London Pavilion July 19. Subsequently an engagement of fourteen months at the Cambridge, same city, followed.
