| Abstract/Description |
AMONG the names of those who practically aided in founding the Australian stage, that of Henry Richard Harwood will always occupy, a prominent and honored place, and certainly during the lengthened period of nearly 40 years that he has appeared behind the footlights, his well deserved popularity amongst Australian playgoers has never waned for an instant, but has, on the contrary,steadily increased, thanks to the tact and discrimination shown during : his later years in playing parts best suited to his age and capabilities. An elderly actor, however gifted, can never make a satisfactory Romeo ; and the youthful aspirant who ambitiously essays King Lear or Shylock is more likely to fail than to succeed. |
