Philadelphia, on Christmas day, 1826, and
was therefore when he died, entering the
37th-oT his age. When quite a boy he used
to work in a stable and ride: horse races.—
Tiring of this business, he ran off and learned
the tailoring trade; but having a hankering
for theatricals, before long went on the
boards, ,He made his first appearance on
stage, when about 19 years old, at Walnut
Street Theatre, in Philadelphia, in the
character of “ Malcolm,” in Macbeth. In
1851, he was jending man at the Broadwa
Pheatre, New York. Afterwards he traveledin company with Julia Dean, for two
years ; and leaving her, “ starred” it for two
yeurs more, in the western cities. He next
played in New York, in Burton’s company;
and soon after ** starred” it through the
Cansdas and the States. He played in Wood
& McVicar’s company in §t. Louis, Cincinhuti and Chicago; agin at ‘tHieWalout, in
1859; and later,-at Nible’s Garden, New
York. Two years ago,’he arrived here, and
made his “ebut, if we recollect aright, at the
old Lyceum Theatre, in the character of

during his last illness, and when tie made an

Mr. Perry apparently thought that he was
destined to shine moat im and high
comedy, but the public verdict was against
his pretensions in that way. His strength
lay in eccentric or low comedy, and there he
showed great force of acting and much genuine humor. His “*Miles-na-Coppaleen,” in the
Colleen Bawn, the old negro * Pete,” in the
Octoreon, and many similar characters were
aduirable. “His voice was too harsh and unmodulated, his gestures were too ungraceful,
and his veiy-limbs too bulky and unwieldy,
to suit the polished nature of the heroic or
the courtly of the bigher drama. But in his
proper range of characters, Mr. Perry wag .
