John Hodges (minstrel)
John Hodges (28 July,〔RICE, Edward L., ''Monarchs of Minstrelsy'', 1910〕 1821 - 23 April 1891) was an early blackface minstrel entertainer, who wrote or popularized the song Buffalo Gals, published by him in 1844 under the title 'Lubly Fan'. There is some dispute as to whether he composed the tune or adapted a traditional air.〔http://www.contemplator.com/america/buffgals.html〕
==Career==
Hodges's stage name was "Cool White". He debuted in Pennsylvania in 1838, at the Walnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia〔〔http://www.circushistory.org/Cork/BurntCork4.htm BROWN, Col. T. Allson, ''EarlyNegro Minstrelsy''〕 and specialized in "dandy" roles: in 1842 he was a particular hit as a character called "Fancy Cool" in Silas S. Steele's ''Philadelphia Assurance''. In 1843 he organized the Virginia Serenaders and later a troupe called the Sable Melodists.〔 He later performed as a 'Shakespearian clown' with Spalding and Rogers circus.〔 From about 1855-59 he appeared with Sam Sanford's Minstrels in Philadelphia.〔 In the 1860s and 1870s he appeared in New York.〔''New York Times'', July 7, 1862: "Mr. HENRY WOOD, long known and justly popular as the manager of Wood's Ethiopian Minstrels, opens, for the first time, to-night, a new hall, which he has built and handsomely fitted up on the site occupied by Nos. 561 and 563 Broadway...The best known members of this company are Messrs. EPH HORN, C. FOX, COOL WHITE, FRANK BROWER, PERCY, ABECCO, SCHWICARDI and Master EDDY."〕〔''New York Times'', October 24, 1877: "Bryant’s Opera House, Burlesque and Minstrelsy, etc – Messrs. Cool White, Dave Reed"〕
In 1879 he also acted the straight role of Uncle Tom in a stage version of the famous anti-slavery melodrama.〔
