New York World, April Il.

The welI-known Irish comedian and
minstrel, whose stage name Of Dan Bryant
is familiar to all New Workers, died at his
residence Yesterday afternoon OF pneumO-
MIA. he was for a long time conspicuous
among the providers Of light entertainment
in this city, and became one Of the most
popular performers Of his class He was
born in TROY, May 9, 1888, and first ap-
peared on the STAGE at the old Chatham
Theatre in this city in 1913, during the run
Of "Mose,D in which play be performed a
bows part in the market scene. In 1886 or
1857 be associated himselfwith his brothers
Jerry and Neil and opened the old Mechan-
les Hall, 472 Broadway, for minstrel en-
tertainments. In this enterprise he was
very successful, and it is said, made Tor
tune. He was led to undertake the per
Torrance Of Irish parts by Mr.. w. K.
FLOYD. and in the summer Of 1865 ap-
peared at the Winter Garden as Handy
Andy under his auspices. His success IN
this part was remarkable, and he was led
TO play the character all over the country.
His later appearance in the role at Wal
lacks Theatre will be remembered By most
Of our readers. He afterwards went
abroad, and was well received in Dublin
and Liverpool, and was even pressed to
play in London. His last appearance IN
Irish comedy in this city was under Mr..
FlOyd's MANAGEMENT at Wallacks Thea
tire last summer, where he came 70 the res
cue Of the house during the illness Of Mr.
TOole. Handy Andy, although the most
popular, was not the only Irish role IN
which be achieved success. He was an
excellent Miles-na- C~Oppaleen and Rory
O'More, and played with great favor
in "The Irish Emigrant, A." 'Shamus Obi
en-" anda piece written for him called"Ih
Bells Of ShandOn.7 His cleverness
in the portrayal Of q certain line Of eccen-
trio characters was unquestiOned. Few, II
nv, Of the negro Ministries ever gave so
much genuine humOr to a sketch as did he.
His Hungry Jake, in the fragment called
"Old Times Rocks was probably played
Oftener than any similar sketch Of the
kind. Certainly nothing Of the same order
ever attained the anne popularity.
Dan Bryant was widely known outside
Of bis profession. He possessed many Of
the best traits Of the Irishman, and had
hosts Of friends in all classes Of the COM
munity. He was charitable TO IMPROVE
dence, and remarkable for the tenaciiy OF
his friendship. Although he amassed a
fortune by his professional labors, most
Of his gains were spent in relieving his
friends or lost in recent mistOrtunes,
brought about it is said, by his sense Of
fidelity to his company and his profession.
He leaves a wife. and five children.
