weeks. Many times he disappointed his
audiences because of this oyerpowcring APP
petite for alcohol. But, strangely enough,
he never seemed TO lose the publc's favor.
Another mans career would have been
ruined by one escapade such as Emmett
indulCed in dozens Of times.
1t twas during and doubtless because of one
of these protracted sprces in 1890 that his
wife, who had gone hand in hand with him
for twenty-seven years, cheerfully helping
him ut first in abject poverty and after
ward sharing in his princely wealth, APP
piled for and obtained an absolute divorce.
He offered no defense, but declared shat he
loved her aud blamed only himself. He
gave her the beautiful homo he bad built
in Albany and nearly half million in
government bonds. Shortly before his
death it was announced with how much
truth do not know that he was about to
marry Helen Sedgewick, an actress. He
had no enemy but himself, and when not
crazed by liquor he seemed to love all men.
He was born in st. Louis, March 13, 1Si1,
of Irish-American parents. AS u boy he
showed considerable ability as a mimic of
dialects, and his voice always led in the
serenades, for which club formed by him
became we'll known in the city. 1t was
during one of these serenading parties that
he met the young woman-a daughter Of
one of the best families of St. Louis-whom
he afterward married. He also became an
expert on the snare drum. One dag in
1888, when party of friends were visiting
his Albany home, he pointed to u battered
old drum hanging in n conspicuous place
and said, "That drum was the foundation
of my fortune" And it was, for it won
for him his first appearance on the stage.
This was as drummer for q company Of
bell ringers. Before this, however, he had
learned the sign painters trade and made
Il fair living by it. Some of the signs which
he turned out are still in existence in st.
Louis.
His early theatrical efforts were confined
to burnt cork mingtrelsy and song and
dance work in variety shows. In 1869
Charles Gaylor, who made fortune by
writing plays for people with specialties,
wrote for him Fritz, Our Cousin Ger
man." This was produced at the Buffalo
Academy of Music, Nov. 20 Of that year.
The day before this play was to be pro-
duccd Emmett was at loss for Il costume
to wear in it. He walked down Exchange
street, and near the railroad station met a
German just arrived on an immigrant
train. The Germans clothes were exactly
what Emmett wanted, and finally he
bought them for ten dollars. The next
night, when he appeared on the stage
dressed for his part, even Gaylor failed to
recognize him.
