Frederick Solomon

[7] Frederick's own comic opera Captain Kidd, or The Bold Buccaneer, premiered at the Prince of Wales's Theatre, Clayton Square, Liverpool, on 10 September 1883.

By January 1886 Solomon had left Russell's theatre troupe and had established his own acting company, both directing and starring in the farce Inside Out in a touring production that began its performances in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

He then returned to Russell's company in another of his brother's operas, portraying Curaso in Pepita, or The Girl with the Glass Eye in theatres in Boston, Massachusetts, and New York City from March through May 1886.

[2] After appearing on the New York stage as Reverend Thayer in his brother's critical flop The Maid and the Moonshiner, Solomon left Russell's company and began a six-year-long period as a leading actor under Rudolph Aronson at Broadway's Casino Theatre.

[5] He simultaneously was active as a composer, writing the music to the 1887 comic opera Pasquillo, or the Bottled Up Kingdom with a libretto by A. K.

[2] In 1888 the Casino staged his comic opera Yulee (libretto by Frank Dupree, later retitled King Kaliko for 1892 Broadway revival), and that same year the burlesque star May Howard toured in productions of his works The Roman Fete and Black Sheep.

[2] With Hall's company his most prominent success was as the leading comic actor in Edgar Stillman Kelley's Puritania.

[5] In 1895 Solomon's brother Edward died, and after this his career shifted increasingly away from acting into composing and conducting for the Broadway producers Klaw and Erlanger.

For the Shubert family and A.H. Chamberlyn he was the music director for The Cadet Girl at the Herald Square Theatre in 1900.
