Massett (1819-1898) gave what is generally considered the first public entertainment in San Francisco, a one-man show at the schoolhouse on Portsmouth Square on 22 June 1849, playing dramatic roles, reciting, and singing his own songs to an audience of about two hundred who paid three dollars each; his accompanist worked at a piano lent by the Collector of the Port.
