“BERNARDO” (Thomas White), a prominent female impersonator in the “good old days,” according to Frank Dumont, appeared as early as 1867 with Ned Davis’ Olio Minstrels as Master J. Buckley. He was with Hooley’s Minstrels in Brooklyn, N. Y., two years later, playing under his own name, Thos. White. He joined Lew Benedict’s Minstrels in July, 1872, subsequently he was associated with the San Francisco Minstrels in New York in 1875; the same year he joined Hooley’s Minstrels in Brooklyn, N. Y., and in 1878 was a member of Charley Morris’ Minstrels. He was with Bryant’s in New York, also Haverly’s Minstrels. In May, 1877, with Charley Sutton, Francis Wilson and Jimmy Mackin, he launched Mackin, Wilson, Sutton and Bernardo’s Minstrels. “Bernardo” died in Brooklyn, N. Y., November 21, 1880. CHARLEY GLIDDEN was an “Oyster Can Moke” with the late Fred. Huber in 1879. He is now a successful citizen of Seattle--and Seattle is said not to be sad. GEORGE GALE, famous for many years with many companies as a burlesque lyric artist and tenor vocalist, made his professional debut with Harry Robinson’s Minstrels at Coldwater, Mich., about 35 years ago; probably a little less than that--at any rate, he later joined Haverly’s Minstrels, and afterward Barlow, Wilson, Primrose and West’s organization. While with Hyde and Behman’s Minstrels he was one of the members of the Clipper Quartette. Mr. Gale was located in Philadelphia with Carncross’ Minstrels, and in Chicago with Haverly’s Home Minstrels. Mr. Gale was also with McNish, Johnson and Slavin’s Minstrels, as well as various high-class farcical companies. At present he is now of the Clipper 3--Gale, Wensley and Manchester. George Gale is a finely preserved man for his age--which was “accidentally” not given to the author. JAMES B. FREAR was several years a minstrel, but abandoned that profession some time before his death for the more domestic one of barber. He died in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., January 6, 1885. NED WAMBOLD, the well-known comedian, and who was a nephew of Dave Wambold, made his first appearance in his native city with the Congo Minstrels, July 1, 1869. He was associated in the management of his own company with E. M. Hall and E. M. Kayne; the organization bore their names and started from Chicago, April 10, 1875. In the Fall of 1879 he joined Joe Norcross’ California Minstrels, and late in December the following year he was a member of Kyle’s “Christy” Minstrels, who endeavored unsuccessfully to revive minstrelsy in Boston. He was also connected with several variety and other minstrel shows during his comparatively brief, but very successful career as a comedian. Ned Wambold was born in Newark, N. J.; he died there April 18, 1882. GEORGE F. MOORE was the originator of the noiseless Essence dance, and a performer versatile to a degree.
