go, Tommy," has reached a circulation of some five hundred thousand, and "Lottie Lee " nearly half as many. Of his " Bouquet March," nearly fifty thou- sand copies have been sold. Mr. J. H. Whittemore composed many pieces, some of which had a large sale. ""T is for him that mother 's weeping," pub- lished in 1867, sold to the extent of one hundred thousand copies; half as many more of "By old Oak Orchard's rippling stream " have been disposed of. Several other of his pieces have sold to the extent of thousands of copies each. E. S. Mattoon published several pieces of merit, one was entitled " The Wood Nymph." J. C. Macy, a former resi- dent, produced some very successful compositions. "The Little Flower you gave me " and " Bring back the Old Folks" have reached a sale of fifty thousand copies each. Messrs. C. H. Levering, C. Stein, and Richard Yarndley all published instru- mental pieces, which find occasional purchasers. Professor S. Mazurette has written several pieces, of which "Home, Sweet Home, with variations," has probably had the largest sale. Of the compo- sitions of M. H. McChesney, " There is no one to welcome me home " has sold to the extent of fifty thousand copies, and of " I've been dreaming of my childhood " twenty-five thousand copies have been sold. Of the various compositions of J. L. Truax probably one hundred thousand copies have been issued; the " Wounded Heart," probably the most popular, has reached a sale of twenty-five thousand copies. The compositions of James E. Stewart and O. F. Berdan are carefully written, and have found many purchasers.

Among the popular leaders of brass bands in former days the names of W. H. Barnhardt, H. Lucker, H. Bishop, and H. Kern were prominent. The last-named leader was portly in the extreme, and able, apparently, to blow any horn that could be made. During the war with the South he went with the first regiment, and President Lincoln pronounced him "the biggest blower in the ser- vice."

Among the leaders of the Opera House Band Ernest Sieger was prominent. He succeeded Kern, and was followed by Charles Graul; then came William Bendix, and then for ten, years H. Bishop was leader of the band. He was succeeded in 1877 by R. Speil.

Gideon's Band -they of the fife and drum- were so called from Gurdon O. Williams, the amateur leader. They created much amusement between 1857 and 1861.

In 1882 there were five brass bands in the city,- the Great Western, M. Hayek, leader; the Opera House, R. Speil, leader; the Light Guard, led by J. D. Elderkin; Gardner's Band, J. H. Gardner, leader ; and Detroit National, led by M. Steyskal.

The Theatre in Detroit seems to have been an American institution, for no record of any theatrical exhibitions is found until after the coming of the United States troops. In 1798 military and civic entertainments were common, and generally given in the old council-house. In 1816 a theatre was fitted up in the upper part of the large brick store- house at the foot of Wayne Street. The soldiers made the scenery, and the officers' wives painted it. Among the amateur performers in 1829 were Major John Biddle and Lieutenant (afterwards General) James Watson Webb. This theatre was in opera- tion almost continuously in winter seasons until about 1830. In that year a theatrical exhibition was given in a barn belonging to the Steamboat Hotel, kept by the well-known Ben Woodworth. Parsons, the manager, was a man of considerable talent, who subsequently doffed the sock and buskin, and became a clergyman.

In the summer of 1834 a theatre was fitted up in the second story of the Smart Block, on the north- east corner of Jefferson and Woodward Avenues. The same year the brick building, still standing on the southeast corner of Gratiot and Farrar Streets, built for a Methodist Church but never dedicated, was purchased and fitted for a theatre. In 1836, and 1837 a wooden building, on the opposite side of Gratiot Street, was in use for theatrical exhibitions, as was also the Museum at the corner of Jefferson Avenue and Griswold Street. After the fire which destroyed the Museum, the old wooden building on Gratiot Street was again used. In 1848 theatrical entertainments were given at the City Hall. In 1849 the Metropolitan Theatre, on Jefferson Avenue opposite the Biddle House, was opened; it was subsequently called "The Varieties," and then the "Theatre Comique." It was burned and rebuilt, and in 1883 was turned into a livery stable.

About 1864 an old church on the corner of Ran- dolph and Congress Streets was converted into a theatre. It was called the Athenaeum, and used for theatricals several years. The old Baptist Church on the corner of Fort and Griswold Streets was also at one time used as a theatre.

The Park Theatre, on Michigan Avenue, built in 1878, was turned into stores in 1885. After the building of the opera houses, the better class of theatrical exhibitions were given in them.

The first German theatre was located on the east side of St. Antoine Street, near Gratiot Street. In late years German theatricals have been given in Concordia Hall, on the east side of Rivard, between Croghan and Lafayette Streets.

Among the more noted actresses who have ap- peared on the Detroit stage may be mentioned Julia Dean, who was here on October, 1849, and Char- lotte Cushman, August 4, 1851. Ristori, the great

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.

Italian tragedienne, played on January 11 and 12, 1867. C. B. Palmer and G. A. Hough-the former proprietor, and the latter manager, of the Detroit Athenaum -gave five thousand dollars for the two entertainments. The plays given were "Marie Stuart" and "Elizabeth." The price of reserved seats was five dollars, general admission three dol- lars. The performances were given at Young Men's Hall, at that time the largest public auditorium in the city. The enterprise was not profitable, the net loss being about three hundred dollars.

Modjeska was here December 12, 13, and 14, 1878, and again in October, 1883, and Janauschek from the 3d to the 6th of March, 1882. Mary An- derson, Sothern, Jefferson, Booth, and Barrett have visited Detroit repeatedly.

Detroit is particularly noted as the birthplace of Bronson Howard, one of the most successful drama- tists of our time. The American plays he composed have given pleasure to thousands. His "Fantine," a drama in five acts, founded on "Les Miserables," was first produced in September, 1864, at the De- troit Athenæum. "Saratoga," his next piece, a comic drama in five acts, was produced at the Fifth Avenue Theatre in New York, in December, 1870, and was performed continuously for one hundred and one nights, and twice revived at the New Fifth Avenue Theatre. "Brighton," an English version of "Saratoga," was played by Charles Wyndham in London in 1874-1875 at the Court Theatre, and subsequently at the St. James, National, Standard, Criterion, and Haymarket theatres. It was pre- sented two hundred and forty times in the years named. It was also adapted to the German, and produced in Berlin. In 1880 it was revived and played in many cities throughout Great Britain. "Diamonds," a comedy in five acts, first produced at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, New York, in Septem- ber, 1872, ran fifty-six nights. " Moorcroft," a comedy in four acts, produced in the fall of 1874 at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, was less successful, run- ning only two weeks. "Hurricane," a comedy in three acts, was first brought out in Haverly's Thea- tre, Chicago, in May, 1878, and in the fall of 1879 was played for four weeks at the Park Theatre in New York, and then in various other places. "Truth," the English version of "Hurricane," was produced at the Criterion Theatre in London, in February, 1879, and ran one hundred and fifty-two nights; in 1880 it was performed in other of the principal English and Scotch cities, and up to 1883 had been produced over three hundred times in London. "The Banker's Daughter," a drama in five acts, was first performed November 30, 1878, at the Union Square Theatre, New York. It ran one hundred and thirty-eight nights, and has been performed repeatedly in the principal cities of the

country. The English version, entitled "The Old Love and the New," was produced at the Court Theatre, London, on December 15, 1879, running one hundred nights or more, and has been given at least one hundred times in another English theatre. "Wives," a comedy in five acts, also produced in 1879, and "Old Love Letters," a one-act comedy of 1878, also achieved success. Among his later productions are "Green-room Fun" and " Baron Rudolph." In 1882 a four-act comedy, entitled "Young Mrs. Winthrop," began a successful run.

In the way of comic operettas and farces, F. J. Thomas has achieved a local reputation. All of his plays were written especially for entertainments given by the Board of Trade for the benefit of the Industrial School. "A Child for Adoption" was performed in 1873; "The Honest Burglar " in 1874; "Our Mamma " in 1876, and "Engaged" in 1877.

ART, ARTISTS, AND INVENTORS.

Before the present century began, there were sil- versmiths in the city who produced elaborate and costly silver ware and ornaments, and skilled work- men in gold and silver have always found employ- ment.

Among our former quasi residents was Ran- dolph Rogers, who, while living at Ann Arbor, was frequently in Detroit. His "Nydia," now in the University Museum, was exhibited here on April IO, 1862, at Young Men's Hall; his "Ruth" and "Isaac," the superb bronze doors in the Capitol at Washington, and our own Soldiers' Monument, all attest his well-earned fame.

J. M. Stanley chose Detroit for his home in 1835. After a few years' residence, he wandered over all the West, gathering material for his brush. He re- turned in 1863. During his absence he painted from life representative heads from forty-three dif- ferent tribes, his collection including the portraits of one hundred and fifty-two Indian chiefs and noted characters. In anticipation of their purchase by the Government, the pictures were deposited in the Smithsonian Institution, and the nation suffered an irreparable loss in their destruction on January 24, 1865, when a portion of the building was burned. In addition to these, Mr. Stanley produced one hun- dred and fifty other paintings, chiefly Indian scenes and studies. One of his best known single paintings is called "The Unveiling of the Conspiracy ;" it por- trays the Indian girl informing Gladwin of Pontiac's treachery. Another, "The Trial of Red Jacket," represents that chief in the centre of a group of warriors on trial for witchcraft. Seven of his works, " Uncas Gambling for the Buck," "The Trial of Red Jacket," "Indian Telegraph," "Blackfoot Card

Players," "Hunters," and "On the War Path " have been chromoed; all, except the last, were produced in Berlin.

The name of Alvah Bradish is familiar to the older citizens. He came to Detroit as early as 1837, and at intervals since then has resided here. From 1852 to 1864 he was Professor of Fine Arts in the university. He painted portraits of Stevens T. Mason, John Biddle, Judge Morell, Elon Farns- worth, H. S. Cole, E. P. Hastings, Z. Pitcher, R. S. Rice, D. Houghton, Hugh Brady, Lewis Cass, J.

1883. Both exhibitions brought together articles old and new, curious and rare, expensive and desirable, and embraced nearly every department of fine arts. Crowds thronged the hall, and the exhibitions were in every respect creditable to the city. They were given under the auspices of the Fire Department Society, and their success was due very largely to the efforts of James A. Van Dyke.

Among the local artists and amateurs represented in that exhibition were, F. E. Cohen, -. Von Bran- dis, L. T. Ives, George Watson, Robert Hopkin,

The name and fame of T. H. O. P. Burnham are preserved through his picture of the election scene of 1837.

C. V. Bond was here from 1846 to 1853, and is favorably remembered.

A Fine Art Exhibition at Firemen's Hall, com- mencing February 1, 1852, lasted three weeks; it was repeated in February, 1853, and no local ex- hibitions of equal merit were held in Detroit up to

R. S. Duncanson, George W. Clark, W. A. Ray- mond, D'Almaine, Mrs. R. W. Baird, C. F. Davis, A. Smith, Jr., -. Bowman, and A. F. Banks.

From June 25 to 28, 1862, a Loan Exhibition, managed by the ladies of the First Presbyterian Church, was held at Young Men's Hall, and many excellent works were brought together. Among the paintings were the following, claimed as origi- nals: "Martin Luther," by Raphael, a landscape, by Salvator Rosa, and " Ecce Homo," by Guido.

At various times some of the noted paintings of the world have been exhibited in Detroit. Dunlap's "Bearing the Cross" was here in September, 1826,

and his "Calvary" at the Presbyterian Church in August, 1830, and in May, 1840, with his "Christ Rejected," at the Baptist Church. Benjamin West's painting of "Christ Healing the Sick" was exhibited in July, 1844, and Peale's "Court of Death" in July, 1847. Rossiter's great paintings of "The Re- turn of the Dove to the Ark" and "Miriam, the Prophetess, exulting over Pharoah " were exhibited on September 30, 1851, and for several days follow- ing, at Firemen's Hall. The following month, com- mencing with October 7, Dubufe's "Adam and Eve" was on exhibition at the City Hall. It had been on view at Detroit sixteen years before. About 1853 Powers' statue of "The Greek Slave" was on exhibition. Two French paintings, "Jerusalem in its Grandeur" and "Jerusalem in its Decay," were exhibited in 1878. They were valued at $30,000. During the last two weeks of June, 1887, the great painting of Munkacsy, entitled " The Last Hours of Mozart," for which General Alger paid $50,000, was exhibited at Young Men's Hall for the benefit of various philanthropic and religious institutions.

In photographic work, Mr. J. E. Martin and the Messrs. Sutton were the first to give satisfactory results in Detroit. On March 6, 1855, there was a notice in the papers to the effect that the Messrs. Sutton had photographed by Turner's process with great success. Since then we have had daguerreo- types, ambrotypes, tintypes, ivorytypes, and photo- graphs ; and in no city is finer work produced, and nowhere in America are there larger or better equipped establishments. Large photographic work, crayon and India-ink portraits are made.

From May 30 to June 1, 1883, nearly fifty large and choice oil paintings by noted artists were ex- hibited at Randall's Art Gallery.

All previous local exhibitions were dwarfed into insignificance by the Art Loan Exhibition projected by W. H. Brearley, and held in the fall of 1883. The first meeting in relation to it was held at the resi- dence of Mrs. James F. Joy on December 6, 1882 ; a subsequent meeting was held at the office of New- berry & McMillan, and a resolution passed favoring the proposed exhibition, provided a sufficient guar- anty fund was pledged to make good any deficiency. Through the efforts of the promoter of the Art Loan, the following persons subscribed $1,000 each as a guarantee : R. A. Alger, H. P. Baldwin, H. B. Brown, Clarence Black, W. Boeing, C. H. Buhl, W. A. Butler, Mrs. Jessie W. Brodhead, W. H. Brear- ley, A. H. Dey, James L. Edson, Moses W. Field, D. M. Ferry, E. S. Heineman, Charles C. Hodges, George H. Hammond, James F. Joy, Edward Kan- ter, W.

It was at first proposed to have the exhibition at

ART, ARTISTS, AND INVENTORS.

Music Hall, and on April 5, 1883, a meeting to ratify the proposed plan for the exhibition was held at that place, and addresses were delivered by Bishop S. S. Harris, D. D., LL. D., Rev. C. Reilly, D. D., Rev. C. R. Henderson, S. M. Cutcheon, and O. W. Wight, M. D. At the meeting a letter was read from T. W. Palmer pledging $10,000 towards a permanent Art Loan, provided $40,000 additional was raised. Doubts having been expressed as to the safety from fire of Music Hall, it was decided to erect a building especially for the exhibition, and a tract of land on the north side of Larned Street, between Bates and Randolph Streets, was rented for the sum of $500. Plans were procured, and at a total cost of $15,000 a one-story brick building, 135 x 153 feet, was erected. The plan and contents of the several rooms were as indicated in the annexed diagram.

A very complete catalogue of one hundred and seventy pages, furnished for the sum of twenty-five cents, showed the following list of articles: Oil paintings, 950; water-color paintings, 260; examples in sculpture, 102; bric-à-brac, 250; etchings, en- gravings, and other examples in black and white, 1,000 ; designs in bronze, 56; textiles and fabrics, 103; curios and miscellany, 280. Total, 3,100. Supplementary exhibits brought up the total number to 4,851. An idea as to the completeness and variety of the exhibit is given by the statement that the various schools of art were represented by the works of one hundred and ninety-six American, one hundred and five French, sixty-four Italian, fifty- eight German, forty-five English, thirty-seven Hol- land, and twenty-three Spanish artists. An oil painting, entitled "The Betrothal of St. Catharine," was presented by Pope Leo XIII.

The following Detroit artists had each one or more oil paintings on exhibition : W. B. Conely, L. T. Ives, J. A. Hekking, Robert Hopkin, Percy Ives, W. H. Machen, G. J. Melchers, J. C. Rolsho- ven, Mortimer L. Smith, George Watson, S. A. Whipple, John Antrobus, Miss Hattie Leonard, . Miss Annie Pitkin, and Delos Bell.

The exhibition opened on Saturday evening, Sep- tember 1, 1883, and was continued during the months of September and October, and up to No- vember 10. A total of 134,050 persons visited the building; the highest attendance was on October 27, when 6,476 persons were admitted ; the lowest was on September 7, when there were 711 admissions. Originally a silver quarter was required as an en- trance fee, but to accommodate those who wished to present tickets to their friends, ordinary tickets were finally placed on sale. The exhibition closed with a reception on Monday evening, November 12. The total receipts were about $45,000, and the expenses footed up $42,500.

During the progress of the loan and immediately after, a canvass was made for subscriptions to a fund of $40,000, to be used in the purchase of grounds as a site for a permanent Museum of Art. For this fund each of the following persons sub- scribed one thousand dollars: R. A. Alger, Clara A. Avery, II. P. Baldwin, Joseph Black, W. H. Brearley, C. H. Buhl, James L. Edson, Charles Endi- cott, D. M. Ferry, Geo. H. Hammond, Bela Hub- bard, C. B. Hubbard, G. V. N. Lothrop, James Mc- Millan, Geo. F. Moore, W. A. Moore, S. R. Mum- ford, C. A. Newcomb, T. W. Palmer, Francis Palms, J. E. Scripps, G. H. Scripps, Allan Shelden, M. S. Smith, Frederick Stearns, Mrs. R. P. Toms, E. W. Voigt, Hiram Walker, E. C. Walker, Willis E. Walker.

By request of Thomas W. Palmer, and as a tes- timonial of their services in behalf of the Art Loan, his pledge of $10,000 was applied to constitute the following persons subscribers to the fund for the site of the proposed building : Fred. E. Farnsworth,

INVENTORS AND INVENTIONS.

John L. Harper, Mrs. E. G. Holden, L. T. Ives, Mrs. E. C. Skinner, Mrs. H. H. H. Crapo Smith, Mrs. Col. J. T. Sterling, Mrs. Morse Stewart, John L. Warren, and Mrs. R. S. Willis.

· A majority of the persons named met on Febru- ary 27, 1884, a temporary organization was effected, and a committee on site appointed.

At a meeting held on May 17, 1884, Mr. Brearley announced the purpose of James E. Scripps to give the munificent sum of $50,000 in futherance of the enterprise.

Owing to the fact that there was no adequate law under which to incorporate, the friends of the enterprise were compelled to wait until after the passage of the law of February 16, 1885, and then, on April 16, the Detroit Museum of Art was duly incorporated. It was placed under the man- agement of eight trustees, six of them to be elected by the persons who subscribed $1,000 or more to the fund, and two by the board of aldermen on nomination of the mayor. Of those first elected two were to serve for one year, two for two years, two for three years, and the remaining two for four years, all trustees subsequently chosen to serve for four years. The first trustees were T. W. Palmer, W. A. Moore, L. T. Ives, W. H. Brearley, James E. Scripps, D. M. Ferry, James McMillan and Don M. Dickinson, the last two being appointed by the city.

The officers for 1885 were: President. T. W. Palmer ; treasurer, W. A. Moore ; secretary, F. E. Farnsworth. During this year the original painting, "Peale's Court of Death," was presented by Geo. H. Scripps. The work of raising by subscription the sum of $100,000 for a building was entered upon, and chiefly through the energy and persistence of Mr. Brearley by April 13, 1886, the entire amount was subscribed, and on August 24, having fully suc- ceeded in what he started out to accomplish, he re- signed his position as a trustee, C. B. Hubbard, who had been elected secretary in May, 1886, being elected a trustee in his place. In 1888 Mr. Brearley was re-elected a trustee, and Mr. Hubbard took the place of Don M. Dickinson, removed from the city. The work of organization gradually went forward, and an art exhibition, lasting from May 29 to June 24, 1886, was held at Merrill Hall. The question of the site of the proposed Museum excited much inter- est, and was finally decided by the donation by resi- dents on Jefferson Avenue of a lot on the southwest corner of Jefferson Avenue and Hastings Street, the site costing $25,000, and during 1887 the organi- zation began the erection of a building thereon.
