We are wont to speak of the Gormans as dancers; and of James, as a producer; but the versatility of these “youths” know no bounds. John and George are comedians of high degree, as attested by their success with Marie Dressler, in “Tillie’s Nightmare” at the Herald Square Theatre, New York, during the Summer of 1910; and they have many other successes to their credit. George Gorman is conceded to be one of the world’s greatest dancers. And John, the altitudinous one, excels as a character comedian. Such in brief, are the careers of the “Gentlemanly Gormans.” James Gorman was born in New York City, August 23, 1852. John Gorman was born in New York City, November 4, 1855. George Gorman was born in New York City, December 16, 1864. WM. F. HOLMES, the favorite baritone vocalist, began his professional career at an early age with the Caroline Richings Troupe. He was with several prominent minstrel companies, notably Thatcher and Ryman in Philadelphia in 1881, and McNish, Johnson and Slavin’s, with whom he was at the time of his death in Boston, Mass., December 10, 1886. He was 34 years of age. CHARLES BRICKWOOD (Brickett), well known as a comedian and banjoist, entered the profession about 1875. He had been successfully identified with the minstrel companies of Whitmore and Clark’s; I. W. Baird’s and George Irving’s California Minstrels. In 1878 he was with Washburn’s Last Sensation. For several years he had played Uncle Tom in a most acceptable manner; he had likewise played Marks, also in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Mr. Brickwood was a brother of the late Mayor of Haverhill, Mass., and a man of unusual intelligence. Charles Brickwood died at Haverhill, Mass., October 22, 1900; age 48 years. EVERETT WESLYN joined Frank Casey about 1872 in a musical act, and continued with him until his (Weslyn’s) death. He was with Carncross and Dixey’s Minstrels in Philadelphia, in 1877; subsequently with Haverly’s Mastodons. He died in St. Louis, Mo., November 8, 1879; age 27 years. FOX AND WARD--To Fox and Ward belong the enviable distinction of having existed as partners (perhaps we should say theatrical associates), for a longer period than that of any other team; active partners is the term meant. Their initial joint appearance was in Cincinnati in 1868. Early in 1870 they played their first minstrel engagement with Dan Shelby’s Company, and the same year they joined Duprez and Benedict’s Minstrels, and were features of this famous organization until 1879, when they joined Barlow, Wilson, Primrose and West’s Minstrels. Subsequently they were with the Skiff and Gaylord Company, and in September, 1882, Fox and Ward’s Minstrels made their first appearance. In 1884 they were members of Haverly’s Minstrels. In 1886 they played with Lester and Allen’s Minstrels, and two years later returned to Haverly. In 1890 they traveled with George Arlington’s Minstrels.
