In 1868 he doubled with Billy Reed, and played variety houses for two years; after which he worked single for some time.

In 1875 Tony Pastor sent him to Albany for five nights; he remained two years, which was much better than going for two years, and remaining but five nights. Mr. Young was so pleased with this two-year engagement that he went to Heuck’s in Cincinnati, and played there two years. Then came a spell of traveling and a season at Leadville, Colo.

In 1880 he formed a partnership with Sage Richardson, and shortly afterwards they joined Cal. Wagner’s Minstrels.

Subsequent minstrel engagements were with Billy Rice and Hooley’s; McIntyre and Heath’s, and J. H. Haverly’s; remaining three years with the latter.

Other companies were Murray and Murphy, seven years; a four-year starring tour in “A Soap Bubble”; four seasons with Bobby Gaylor; in conjunction with Charles A. Mason, one season with Gus Hill’s New York Stars; and a season each with Nellie McHenry; Edna May; and Ward and Vokes. Mr. Young then starred four seasons in melodrama under the management of Percy G. Williams.

Charles Young was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, July 3, 1854.

Billy Conway (Marble) the well-known comedian, first appeared professionally about 1871, with Mart. Healy, known as Healy and Conway; this was in his native city; he was with Whitmore and Clark’s Minstrels several seasons, where he joined the late Johnny Mack; afterwards Healy, Saunders (Ella) and Conway formed an alliance; subsequently he rejoined Mack, and they went with I. W. Baird’s Minstrels, where they remained about eight seasons. He separated from Mack about three years before his (Conway’s death), and appeared with McIntyre and Heath’s; Dockstader’s, and Wilson’s Minstrels.
