LONDON. Dec. 2S ASSOCIATED Press) -
The death of Sir John Hare. noted Eng
lish actor and manager. was announced
SIR John Hare was remembered in
this country particularly through his ap-
pearance i'll Caste" and "The Gay
Lord Quex," which he brought here
from England in 1895. Later he ap-
assured his popularity with American
playgoers.
Sir John. whose real name was John
Fairs. was born in Giggleswick, England,
May 16, 1874. At 10. while qualifying
for civil service examination. stage
fever seized him. He made his first
appearance soon after in the Theater
Royal, as Prosper Courdmomt in Pal
grave Simpsons English version OF
Les Pattes- des Mouches." A few more
amateur performances settled his choice
Of career.
The young man commenced to study
seriously for the stage under Gilbert
Murray and in 1864, through Murray,
he obtained a small engagement in
Liverpool. A year later he appeared
in the Prince OF Wales Theater in Lon
don. with Marie Wilton, and remained
there ten years, playing a long sue
cession of parts in the Robertson and
other comedies. His first hit" was
N0Npnnhaf- k,,,f
polite Lord Ptarmtgdnt, In the first OF
the Robertson plays.
In 1875 he withdrew from the Prince
OF Wales Theater and assumed man
agement of the Court Theater BY
means OF the exceptionally brilliant COM
pany he collected while there he placed
that house among the first rank in
London. Those associated with Sir John
at that time included the Kendals. Amy
Fawsith. Ellen Terry. Henry kemble
and Sarah Hughes. -Four years later
ne joined partnership with the kendals
in the management of the st. James
Iheater. The introduction of Arthur
wing Pinero as a serious dramatist was
an incident of their management.
The Garrick Theater was opened nv
Sir John in 1889 with Pinero's The
Profiigate," in which he acted Lord
Don0drs. That was followed by "a
Par OF Spectacles' which he later
brought to this country. He took the
Globe Theater IN 1897. where he pro-
duced THE Gay Lord Quex." in which
he subsequently toured this country In
1907 he was engaged by Charles Froh-
man to play Napoleon in "The Great
Conspiracy" at the Duke of York The
ater IL was in that year that he re-
celved his knighthood.
The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith," by
Pinero. was the first play given in this
country by Sir John. 1t was offered at
Abbey's Theater in New York and was
followed by "a Pair of Spectacles.' Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Terry supported the ac-
sor-manager in the cast of both plays
After his withdrawal from the stage he
made another trip TO this country. in
1912. to judge at competition between
amateur dramatic societies in Canada.
He had spent forty-siX years of his life
on the stage and had lived the last few
years of his life in retirement His
biography was written some years ago
by T. f. Pemberton.
