actor. He was born on February 10, 1870. His birth place is Maxwelltown of

his engineering training and joined the Otho Stuart’s Company and acted on the
stage at the age of 24 only.

Morell in Shaw’s Candida and John Anthony in Galsworthy’s Strife.

Hugo’s novel Les Miserables, was one of those plays.
