State street, Albany. | was ,urney-
man in the otii e oi the Albany Register.
Published 10y Henry {. Sauthwick. and
edited 10y Solomon Southwick. During
the war with England, which had just
closed, the Green street theatcr, with a
strong company, literally patronized by
the officers of the army stationed in
Grcenbush, awakened much enthusiasm
among the young gentlemen of Albany,
several of whom formed them selves into
an amateur theatrical company. They
fitted up hall formerly used for ORA
m attic representations, then known as the
Thespian hotel, on the corner of North,
Pearl and PATRON streets. They attract
ed large audiences. Joseph Henry be-
came "bright particular star" His
Young NoruaL, Dimon and even Hamlet,
were pronounced equal in conception and
execution to the presentations of expert
enced and popular actors. Ills friends,
charmed with his talents and genius,
urged him to adopt the stage as a pro
fession. His own thoughts and inciIna-
ton rendered him willing listener.
Soon the manager of the Green street
theater offered him permanent engage
ment with liberal salary. With that
the young aspirant for dramatic honors
was greatly delighted. But DR.. 4. Ro
meyn Beck, principal of the Albany
academy, believed that there was way
opened to the young man promising
greater usefulness and more enduring
hOnors than the drama could confer.
Alter consultation with the trustees, DIR.
Beck invited young Henry to enter upon
and complete a gratuitous academic
course. While anxiously considering
these conflicting offers three of his init
mate friends, James Dexter, law stu
dent, James Hunter, printer, and my
self, were called into consultation. Hun
ter and myself saw for our friend in a
dramatic career assured fame and fort
uue. Dexter, less enthusiastic, preferred
academic honors to those of the "sock"
aud "buskin." He urgcl calmly, but
forcibly, that if the stage was to be ulti
mately adopted as profession, an academ-
ic education would increase our friends
chances for enduring success, and that
after completing his education he would
be quite young enough to become an &C.
tor. This argument, after long and
anxious mental struggle, proved eff,ctual.
The following day Joe Henry" rejected
Manager Demands dramatic offer, and
took his seat in the Albany academy.
Mr.. Doty, when informed of his apprcn-
tees desire to lecome a student in the
academy, generously surrendered his in
dentures. 1t was only u few weeks be-
fore the "Young Roscius" became SO ab-
sorbed in and delighted with his studies
that the theater with all its attractive as
sociations was forgotten. Long years
aftcrward, when we met in Washington
or in his visits t" Albany, while recalling
the scenes of our youth, the grave Pro
fessor Henry, with worldwide scien-
tific reputation, remembered this episode
in his life as partaking more of dream
than as reality.--1hurlO1 Weed, tn N.
