DEATH OF MR. CHARLES HOLLOWAY.

During the last few months death has been busy among the ranks of actors well known in the colonies. Now comes word from Melbourne that the veteran actor-manager, Charles Holloway, has crossed the Great Divide. He has been before the public for many years, his last visit to the Dominion being in 1907, and was a sterling actor of the old school now fast dying out. He was married to Miss Alice Deorwyn and his daughter is Miss Beatrice Holloway, one of the most charming and talented actresses we have in the colonies. The immediate cause of Mr Holloway’s death was pneumonia, but he’had been in poor health for a long time.

seem to realise that acting is an art, and one of the most difficult of arts, requiring something more than grease-paint and costume if success is to be attained. There are plenty of amusing and attractive pieces suitable for amateurs. But they almost always persist in trying to run before they have learnt how to crawl. On Tuesday Mr Wm. Anderson’s Dramatic Company opens at the Theatre Royal in “ The Squatter’s Daughter,” and the advance booking is already heavy.
