    n a February evening in 1900, the Irish revolutionary and actress Maud Gonne was railing against the British to a large, sympathetic crowd at New York City’s Academy of Music. During an intermission in the program, someone spotted a famous singer among the audience and began to chant, “Olcott, Olcott!” He was chanting for Chauncey Olcott, the Buffalo-born tenor and a favorite of audiences throughout the United States. They wanted him to sing an Irish ballad – and he obliged the audience by singing two. Portrait of Chauncey Olcott, ca. 1900, with a selection of his music. By 1900, Chauncey’s career as a songwriter and actor was well COURTESY THE HISTORY CENTER OF established. “My Wild Irish Rose,” for which he wrote the lyrics THE NIAGARA COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY, PRIVATE COLLECTIONS and music, had reached number one on the Billboard charts the previous year, and sold one million copies. By then he also had roles in five plays to his credit, appearing on stages in cities across the country. His most famous song, “When Irish Eyes Are Smil- ing,” was still more than a decade away. One historian has claimed he had already become the “most renowned Irishman” of his time, and upon his death The New York Times said he was “one of the most popular actors of his day.” Over the course of his career, Olcott amassed a large fortune. He was recognized not just for his acting, but also as a lyricist, composer and singer. How did a boy born over a stable in Buffalo reach such heights? And why did his name eventually fade into oblivion? Buffalo has a rich history in the arts, and Chauncey Olcott was one of its first stars on the national stage.
