On the night of April %, i7ss, "Hsil

public on the stage OF q Philadelphia
theatre, to the delight OF its freedom
loving hearers. The singer was young
actor named Fox, and the occasion was
the annual benefit 10 which he was en-
titled in accordance with the dramatic
usage OF those days.
Fox had found that his bei eft Was
