Photograph, Thomas A. Daly (with wife and children), c. 1910. Villanova Photograph Collection. Villanova University Archives, Villanova University. Thomas Daly and Ann "Nannie" Barrett had eight children: Leonard (b. 1897), John (b. 1899), Tom Jr. (b. 1901), Anne (Nancy) Elizabeth (b. 1903), Stephen (b. 1904), Brenda (1907-1914), Frederic (b. 1908), and Frances Joan (b. 1914).

Thomas Augustine Daly, more commonly known as T. A. Daly or Tom Daly, was born in Philadelphia to Irish-Catholic parents, John Anthony and Anne Victoria Duckett Daly. His mother died when he was five years old and, after living with his aunt for a few years, he was sent to attend Villanova College from 1880-1887, entering in the preparatory school at age nine. He then transferred to Fordham University for two years but left without graduating on account of his father’s illness.

Back in Philadelphia, he found a job as a clerk and then a cub reporter for the Philadelphia Record beginning in 1891. In 1898 he was hired as a business manager for the Catholic Standard and Times and aided in its growth into one of the most successful Catholic weekly newspapers in the United States. Here he also built a reputation for himself as a popular columnist and humorist. By 1903, he had begun a daily department of jokes for both the Philadelphia Press and the Philadelphia Ledger.  

After departing the Standard and Times as General Manager in 1915, Daly continued with a column in the Philadelphia Evening Ledger from 1915 to 1918 and again with the Record from 1918 to 1924. His column, "Rhymes and Ripples" appeared in the Evening Bulletin from 1929 until his death in 1948.

Alongside a prolific career as a newspaperman, Daly authored many books of poetry and prose, beginning with Canzoni in 1906. As the title suggests, Canzoni is a collection of poems and light verse –  or “songs” – mostly in a broken Eng

Career

Charles Coghlan began his stage career in 1859 as a minor player with the Sadler's Wells Theatre's summer tour. During their engagement in Dublin, Ireland Coghlan approached John Baldwin Buckstone, then manager of the Haymarket Theatre, with a play he had written. Buckstone passed on the play, but instead gave him the chance to play Monsieur Mafoi, a small role in The Pilgrim of Love, a play adapted by Lord Byron from Irving's Tales of the Alhambra, that opened at the Haymarket on 9 April 1860. Over the following few seasons Coghlan would play a number of supporting roles that steadily increased his stature as an actor.
