FRANK C. GEYER, an excellent acrobatic song and dance man, made his first professional appearance at Deagle’s Varieties, St. Louis, Mo.; shortly after this he formed a partnership with George A. Turner and Billy Mendel, being known as the Big 3; Mendel soon dropped out, and the team was known as Geyer and Turner, and as such continued for several years, finally separating. Mr. Geyer then allied himself with James B. Mackie, and as Geyer and Mackie they continued giving black-face specialties; subsequently the team was known as Geyer and Sylvester, and Geyer and Lord. He managed the opera house at Bellaire, Ohio, several years. Mr. Geyer’s first wife was Amy Nelson, a prima donna, with whom he was professionally associated a considerable period; subsequently he married Mamie Forrest, of the Forrest Sisters; they played the principal variety houses. He traveled with O’Brien’s Circus for two years; and was one of the three Geyer Brothers--Frank, Charles and Albert; an odd coincidence concerning the latter was that for a brief period he did a black-face song and dance act with Frank Turner, of the Three Turner Brothers, known as Turner and Geyer; in one case a Turner was associated with one of the Three Geyer Brothers; in the other a Geyer worked with one of the Three Turner Brothers; the two Turners were not related. Frank C. Geyer was born in Newark, N. J., September 5, 1855; he died at Lexington, Mo., June 4, 1900. DONALD HAROLD (O’Donnell Harrold) was once the “boy tenor”; you wouldn’t think so to see him now, but bear in mind that was in 1872, on the first day of that year at Simmons and Slocum’s Minstrels in Philadelphia. Mr. Harold continued with the minstrels until August, same year; his voice changing, he also changed his job, and two years and one month later he identified himself with the famous Holman Opera Troupe, remaining until May 20, 1878. Since that date Mr. Harold has been associated with many musical and farcical productions--but no minstrels. Donald Harold was born in Philadelphia, December 5, 1855. BOBBY BEACH (Anin W. Gardner) entered the theatrical profession at the age of 15, doing a contortion act; subsequently developing into a good dancer. He was with Barlow, Wilson, Primrose and West’s Minstrels in 1881, and about a year or so later with Otis Bowers formed the Beach and Bowers Minstrels, which were prominent for several seasons. He was seriously injured while doing a pedestal act. Bobby Beach was born in Rome, N. Y.; he died in Watertown, Wis., December 1, 1905; age 50 years.
