Remembering Joseph W. Torrey and the Boston Histrionic Club

Henry Laurens Bascombe recalls Joseph W. Torrey's warmth toward theater. In 1848 he organized a club of amateurs the Boston Histrionic and my first appearance was at the Howard under Joe's management. In 1851 an actress found in poverty on Friend Street was aided by a meeting called by Torrey, the Howard engaged, and the club staged the Honeymoon and three farces, yielding about 300 for the actress before she returned to the boards.
