Beerdohm Tree
Archer, William | August 9, 1917 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on Herbert Beerbohm, a theater actor, who died recently. He did not quite succeed to Henry Irving's place at the head of the theatrical profession, but there was certainly no competitor who distinctly outdistanced him. Though he was far from being a great actor, he acted the great actor to admiration. It was his one consummate performance. It is my melancholy privilege to remember his very beginnings as an actor. Author's first clear vision of him dates from 1879, when he appeared at an East End theatre, then known as the Garrick, in a comic opera entitled "A Cruise to China."
