VOCEL, Manager City Opera House. Once a billposter, nwa manager, still a billposter DO YOU KNOW HIM? NO? I will tell you. I was discovered on the coast of Ireland by Deafy Gaylord, and for many years traveled as bill poster and distributer with "Poga" O'Brien, A. A. Grady, Burr Robbins and Windy Van Houton. I was shipwrecked on the Kal- amazoo River a few years ago, and as my manager, D. B. Hodges, did not send passes, and the walking not being of the best, I decided to remain in Kalamazoo, and tell my many friends "How it Hap- pened." Truly Yours, J. e. McCarthy, THE BILL POSTER.
