We are more or less familiar with him. So why not get fun out of him for stage purposes, just as much as Weber and Fields and other comedians extract fun from our Teutonic friends. Its there, and I believe Broadway folk are highly interested In the darky from a histrionic standpoint. Its the one typo of character yoft may recall with which Broadway has not more than had its fill. Irish comedians and Dutch comedians have been as prevalent on Broadway as schemes. Romantic plays with impossible Englishmen and ridiculous Frenchmen, to say nothing of the comic opera Londoner and Parisian, are with us always. Weve had Chinese plays and Japanese operas galore, but excepting the engagement of Williams and Walker at the New York theater, how many black-face- d characters do you see?

Wo get the information from the columns of the New York Advertiser, which has something to say of our esteemed friend and fellow townsman that we reproduce just to show tfcat although the city papers hero are carefully suppressing most of the information con cerning him. Perry is not being forgotten elsewhere, but, on the contrary. Ills memory Is being kept green in nearly all sections cf the country.
