Those who remember Joseph
P. Burns, when he was a fashion
able tailor in the Wilcox house on
Sth street, and more especially as
Pooh Bah in the comic opera of
"The Midado," in which, so far as
the male characters went, he was
easily the bright particular star,
will be surprised as well as graft
fed to learn that Notwithstanding
his great musical ability, and his
early aspirations to become an
operate star, he has turned his at
tention to a more prosaic though
not less honorable calling, and is
now a recognized and worthy mem
ber of the medical profession. He
is comfortably located in West
Philadelphia, and in the enjoyment
of good practice, the just reward
of thorough study.
