Sol Smith Russell

Sol Smith Russell

Sol Smith Russell (1848-1902) was an American stage actor, born at Brunswick, MO. He served as a drummer boy in the Union army. In 1862 he became connected with a theatre at Cairo, Ill. He went to New York City in 1871 and in 1874 became a member of Daly's company. He began as a regular star in 1880 with a play called "Edgewood Folks". The eveness and finish of his acting, his peculiarly quaint and gentle humor, and the truth and delicacy of his pathos won for him lasting popularity.
