Edwin F. Thorne

[2][6] Another biography has his first appearance at the old Winter Garden Theatre, New York, under Jackson's management in 1859, after which he moved to California, where he played most of the available juvenile roles.

He returned to New York in 1865, then to Toronto, Canada, where he played the leading man in several successful productions.

He visited Australia on several occasions, to good houses and excellent reviews, most recently in 1889 for Henry Edwards.

[7] Thorne's popular roles included playing in The Black Flag, a melodrama by Henry Pettitt.

[9] Thorne wrote and starred in the comedy play Billiards, possibly the only stage production about cue sports.
