Announcement: New York Clipper, 21 January 1865, 326.

Glenn, alto singer of Wood’s, is leaving the company to go to Philadelphia, where he will join Carncross and Fitzey’s Minstrels. He has been with Wood’s since they occupied the present hall, and has served as singer, End Man, sung in quartets, played tambourine, and appeared in the Olios, to much satisfaction.
