His professional career began with the Bartlett Sister’s Concert Company, which was brought to a sudden termination by the death of Miss Arabella Bartlett. Two years were then spent in variety theatres. His first appearance in female make-up was at the Queen’s Theatre, Toronto, Canada. Later he was engaged by J. H. Haverly for the latter’s new “Mastodons,” with whom he played for three seasons; after the consolidation of the two companies (Haverly’s), Mr. Malcolm continued with Mr. Haverly for nine months; a record of which to be proud. An engagement of three years with Billy Emerson’s Minstrels in San Francisco followed; during this time Mr. Malcolm was away from the company but four weeks. A return engagement with Haverly, opening at the Drury Lane Theatre, London, England, May 31, 1884, and continuing as a member of that organization for one year, followed. Returning to America, Mr. Malcolm remained with Mr. Haverly until the latter sold out to W. S. Cleveland. He became a member of McNish, Johnson and Slavin’s Minstrels in 1886, and continued with them until the dissolution of the organization, about May, 1888; subsequently joining Johnson and Slavin’s Minstrels. Since that time Mr. Malcolm did concert work chiefly. In his early career he did a specialty in the leading variety theatres with the late Arthur Doty. Fred B. Malcolm was born near Morris, Ill.; he died in Chicago, Ill., April 3, 1910. FRANK H. WHITE began his professional career as a member of the Aeolian Quartette in his native city in 1871, and continued with them for seven years. He married in 1879, and as Frank H. and Lillian White they played variety engagements until about 1891, when they separated. He played black-face parts in dramatic companies for a while, and about fifteen or eighteen years ago was with Lew Dockstader’s Minstrels. A few years ago he joined Lew Simmons in an old-time black-face act, with whom he is still associated. Mr. White is a great delineator of the scary coon. Frank H. White was born in Newark, N. J. RICHARD MAGEE, JR., well known as a vocalist in Philadelphia, joined Simmons and Slocum’s Minstrels in that city late in December, 1872, terminating his engagement April 5, 1873. He died February 27, 1880. “MEMPHIS” Kennedy, a well-known black-face performer, who did a unique musical act, was with Lew Dockstader’s Minstrels about 1893, also other well-known companies. He was drowned near Hannibal Mo., October 12, 1907. BOB HEIGHT, the well-known colored comedian, who was a favorite with Sam Hague’s Minstrels in Liverpool, England, in the middle 70’s died in Manchester, England, September 8, 1881.
