He first appeared on stage before Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle in 1862, as a page in “Richelieu”. In 1864 he made his first appearance in London as Benvolio in “Romeo and Juliet”. After many years of high class engagements, he toured Australia with phenomenal success. He will be remembered particularly in Wellington for his brilliantly realistic acting in “Drink”.
