PALMER, Albert M .:

Theatrical manager; born North Ston- ington, Conn., July 20, 1838; educated at the University of New York; and was graduated from its law school in 1860. For a time he continued the study of the profession, but was soon called to the responsible position of secretary to Mr. Barney, collector of the port of New York. In 1866 he was made librarian of the Mercantile Library, at that time a centre of literary interest and activity, and there he established order and effectiveness in all its branches. It was from this atmos- phere of literature that he was unexpect- edly drawn into the management of the Union Square Theatre, whose proprietor, Mr. Sheridan Shook, finding his establish- ment in a state of decadence, and know- ing of Mr. Palmer's business efficiency, offered to give him full charge, and to permit him to develop the house on his own lines; on these conditions the offer was accepted. Within two years the little considered and almost abandoned Union Square Theatre became the most thronged and profitable house in town. Dion Bou- cicault's adaptation of Led Astray was one of the first productions under the new management, and in 1874 the triumph of The Two Orphans brought the house to the height of prosperity and recognition. Bronson Howard made his first financial success at this house, and Bartley Camp- bell was started on his brief and bril-

liant career. In 1882, Mr. Palmer retired from the management, feeling the need of rest, but was immediately soug ... out by Mr. Mallory, of the Madison Square Theatre. and shortly afterwards entered on the management of that house, which he controlled in every particular; with his usual success in securing a notable play, it was not long before the town was delighted with the production of Jim the Penman. Following this came Saints and Sinners, Elaine, and many other plays that sustained the prestige of his management; the closing piece of his direct management of the house was Alabama. During his career he has brought many stars to this country, while have numbers of distinguished actors passed under his management. Mr. Palm- er has been president of the Actors Fund since 188S, and is a member of the Goethe Society, the Players Club, the Union League Club, etc. Address, Players Club, N. Y. City.
