On the evening of 15 February 1848, Francis S. Chanfrau, a stock actor at Mitchell's Olympic Theatre, played a new character named Mose in a new play, A Glance at New York in 1848. The new character was so immediately and phenomenally popular that Chanfrau was to play it in one of seven different vehicles at two different theatres in New York no less than 385 times between 15 February 1848 and 6 July 1850.
