Excerpt from Cameos of Playwrights Players: 1914 1921, With Open Letter From Gerald Du Maurier He was great perhaps even more as a man than as an actor. He had sipped the bitter cup and sparkling bowl of glory; he understood life, he embraced its fulness; he loved humanity. His theatre was an example to the dramatic world.
