Charles J. Ross A Handsome Clever Man In Vaudeville
Charles J. Ross emerges as the strongest feature of The Passing Show. Born Charles Joseph Kelly in Montreal in 1859, he spent years on race tracks before rising in vaudeville with his partner Mabel Fenton. They became a top act, later reuniting with The Passing Show, and Ross may someday star in drama given his stage presence and talent.
