Daniel Sully

Daniel Sully (née Daniel Sullivan; September 6, 1855 – June 25, 1910) was an American circus performer, stage actor and playwright, a dramatic comedy in which he played the central character, Father John Whalen. By 1902, he was associated with (John) Fitzgerald Murphy (a noted actor, playwright, and political activist of the time). During 1904, Sully was the principal actor for several of Fitzgerald Murphy's plays, namely, The Irish Statesman, a role originally played by Carroll Johnson as early as 1892 and The Old Mill Stream at the California Theatre in San Francisco on respectively 6–7 March and the 13 March of that year. He also starred in Fitzgerald's play "The Chief Justice" in Salt Lake City, Utah. Sully remained active on the legitimate stage and vaudeville until shortly before his death. Sully was a member of the Elks Lodge in Baltimore, Maryland.

Daniel Sully died on June 25, 1910, at his farm near Woodstock, New York. He was survived by his wife, Louisa A. Fox, the daughter of George Fox, a famous pantomime artist remembered for the show Humpty Dumpty.
