(From the London Times, Nov. 15.)
Though several years have now elapsed since Mr.

will be considered an important event, by those
who have nat had the great advantage Of witnessing his
admira BILE performances To the youngest paygoer his
name will be familiar that of the last hstrionc scion
Of family which for many years associated with
all that was high and dgnied in theatrical art But
in those Of longer experience the record of the mean-
choly event will awaken remembrance of bygone days
when veteran who closed his earthly on sun
day last stood the representative Of class of chara
tiers upon the stage in which, according TO the opinion
even Of the abest judges, he excellcd The
gay, buoyant spirited gentleman OF high breeding, who

same year in which his lusrious sister, Mrs Sddons,
made her first appearance ut Drury aneand at the age
OF fourteen was sent to the College of Douay where his
brother, John Kembe had studied twelve years before

as one OF the brightest ornaments Of the pro-

When Mr.. John Kemble purchased a share Of Covent
Garden theatre in 1903, Mrs. Sddons and Mr. Charles
Kembe both became members of that company. To

large houses as national establishments, although
temporary resuscitation was effected By the manage

while Covent Garden was under the direction Of
Madame vestrs that Mr.. Charles Kemble, after
long retirement, reappeared before the public for
limited series Of nights and played several Of his

Hamlet Except In series Of readings he has been
