Pat Chappelle
Patrick Henry "Pat" Chappelle (January 7, 1869 – October 21, 1911),〔Lynn Abbott, Doug Seroff, (''Ragged But Right: Black Traveling Shows, Coon Songs, and the Dark Pathway to Blues and Jazz'' ), University Press of Mississippi, 2009, pp. 248-268.〕〔(''The New York Age'' ), November 16, 1911, p. 2. Retrieved July 5, 2014.〕 was an African-American theatre owner and entrepreneur, who established and ran The Rabbit's Foot Company, a leading traveling vaudeville show in the first part of the twentieth century. He became known as one of the biggest employers of African Americans in the entertainment industry, with multiple tent traveling shows and partnerships in strings of theaters and saloons. Chappelle was described at that time as the "Pioneer of Negro Vaudeville" and "the black P. T. Barnum," and was the only African American to fully operate a traveling show solely composed of African-American entertainers.〔"Pioneer of Negro Vaudeville. The Meteoric Career of Mr. Pat Chappelle, the Magnate of Afro American Stage--From Strolling Player to Manager--Colored Performers Should Organize for Protection." News/Opinion, ''The Colored American'', p. 1. August 3, 1901. Washington (DC), District of Columbia.〕
== Early life ==
Chappelle was born in Jacksonville, Florida, the son of Lewis Chappelle and his wife Anna, who had been slaves in Newberry County, South Carolina. After slavery was abolished, they left South Carolina with their relatives and other freed slaves to help construct the suburban neighborhood of LaVilla in Jacksonville, which became a center of African-American culture in Florida.〔Death Notice "Mr. Lewis Chappelle Dead," ''The Freeman'', p. 5. February 18, 1905. Indianapolis, Indiana.〕 Lewis Chappelle and his brother Mitchell Chappelle worked on house construction and also held several political positions in LaVilla.〔''Florida Black Public Officials (Black Officials La Villa), 1867-1924'', University of Alabama Press (1998).〕 Their other brother Julius Caesar Chappelle, Pat's uncle, also worked in construction in LaVilla and then moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where he became a legislator between 1883 and 1886, one of the early black Republicans in Boston (the Republican Party was founded by abolitionists).〔"Julius C. Chappelle." ''The New York Freeman'', front page. November 13, 1886. Indianapolis, Indiana.〕
Pat Chappelle was musically gifted. He and his brothers and cousin learned musical skills from some of their relatives – Pat learned how to play the guitar and piano, but was best known for his proficiency in banjo. He left school after the fourth grade and played guitar in traveling string bands.〔 He started playing in hotels on the East Coast and was discovered by a prestigious vaudeville circuit owner, Benjamin Franklin Keith, who offered him bookings with the Museum circuit in Boston and New York City. Later, he performed in Florida restaurants and saloons.〔Peter Dunbaugh Smith, (''Ashley Street Blues: Racial Uplift and the Commodification of Vernacular Performance in LaVilla Florida, 1896-1916'' ), Florida State University, The College of Arts and Science, Dissertation, 2006.〕
