1t would be of interest to all lovers of
the drama to visit the lobby of the Peot
pies theatre, where hang the pictures
OF some of the founders of dramatic
art i'll this country, whose shining lights
| which once shone so brightly in the eyes
of our fOrefatherS, have long since been
extinguished. Among the pictures is
Dan Bryant, the originator of the black
face art In the United States, and who,
together with his brothers Dan and
Ned. was the first to start permanent
minstrel organization in old Mechanics
hall, in New York city. He afterward
appeared in Irish comedy in many large
cities in Europe and America. Another
is James w. Wallack, Jr., the son of
James w. Wallack, who was the
founder of the Wallacks known to the
DRAMATIC profession, and cousin of
Lester Wallack, of Wallack's theatre,
New York. Another is Ed Eddy, who
fny I,n Il oxrrit, a.I Nf no
old Bowery theater in its palmy days,
when the BOwery rang with the cry
"Hi-i-Eddyp' He was at one time con-
sidered the rival of Edwin Forrest, and
died in 1876, at Kingston, Jamaica, after
having played "Virginius" the night be-
fore to large and enthusiastic audience.
Another face is that of Mexican Bu-
chanan, the pride of the country the
ater-goerS. He was of the Forrestinian
school and good actor, although he had
many faults; he was best III the char
acter of Sir Harcourt Courtly, in Bou-
cicault'S London Assurance" But if
there was anything in which he did eX-
eel it was in a game of stud-poker, at
which he had no living rival. Among
the feminine faces is that of Matilda
Heron, who was the original English
speaking Camille, and who was also the
greatest dramatic teacher of her day.
Her last appearance upon the stage was
in California, where she went crazy
while playing part and had to be car
ried from the stage by force. She mar
ried Ed Stopple and they had one child,
BijOu Heron, who was a child consid-
cred an infant prodigy as an actress.
Manager j. F. Conklin is expected
