No, my first appearance, at the age of 15, was in Bendigo, an Quilp's office bay, in "The Old Carloalty Shop. A year later I played my first part of importance in the same town, with Kate O'Reilly, as Mr. Malfart, in "The Soldier's Daughter,"

Then I played in Cartiersalne, Ballarat, Pendigo, and other Australian towns under the management of J. H. Vinton (bus band of Kate Ward), acquiring my professional education from such associates as Mrs. Robert Heir, Misa Avoola Janes, Emma Stanley, Hud- son and John Drew (the Irish corsedians), Fred, and Dick Young, and last, but not least, doar old G. V. Brooke.

The Calcutta representative of the London Times, who happened to have theatrical connections, offered to arrange for my appearance at leadlog London theatre. Forgetting the old adage, I preferred to return to my own country, and my mistake was not immediately apparent, for my reappearance with Wm. Lyster's company at the Opera House as Ossip in "The Danicheff" was the signal for the warmest reception of my career; it might eves have been termed an ovation.
