Paul Barnes (pseudonym of George Franklin Feger; 1870 Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania – 8 May 1922 New York City) was a vaudeville actor and songwriter who, with Will D. Cobb as lyricist, in 1897 composed the Spanish–American War-era hit, "Goodbye, Dolly Gray."

Selected acts

Family

Paul Barnes' father, Pvt. William J. Feger, was a musician and organizer and leader of a band in the 48th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment during the American Civil War under the command of Brig. Gen James Nagle.

Barnes was twice married. He first married Willie Adalaide Early August 12, 1895, in Atlantic City. He divorced her around 1901 in Chicago. Adalaide had been an actress with the Thomas Q. Seabrooke Comic Opera Co. (Seabrooke, Thomas Q.; né Thomas Quigley; 1860-1913) Barnes then married vaudeville actress Phillis Ruffell (stage name of Ophelia Ruffell) December 8, 1902, in Philadelphia. Phyllis had been married with and divorced from Wendell Howard Ordway (1860–1897), whom she married in 1889 in London and whom she divorced in 1895.

Note: Thomas Q. Seabrooke (1860–1913) was a vaudeville actor and theatrical impresario who legally changed his name from Thomas James Quigley in 1893.
