Description: Original Newsboy cabinet photograph of the American legitimate stage actor.John Drew, Jr., (1853 — 1927), American actor noted for his roles in Shakespearean comedy, society drama, and light comedies. Drew was the eldest son of John and Louisa Lane Drew, who were actors and managers. He first appeared on the stage in 1873 under his mother’s management. In 1875 Drew made his New York debut as Bob Ruggles in Augustin Daly’s comedy The Big Bonanza. He continued his association with Daly, making his first popular success as Alexander Sprinkle in Daly’s Arabian Night; or Haroun al Raschid and His Mother-in-law in November 1879. He left Daly in 1892 to join Charles Frohman’s company and for the next 20 years appeared, under Frohman’s direction, in such plays as A Marriage of Convenience, One Summer’s Day, Richard Carvel, Much Ado About Nothing, The Will, The Circle, The School for Scandal, and Trelawny of the “Wells.” When Frohman died in the Lusitania disaster of 1915, Drew’s career began to ebb. So esteemed was he by his fellow actors, however, that he was chosen lifetime president of the Players’ club, an honor previously accorded only to Edwin Booth, founder of the club, and Joseph Jefferson. His memoirs, My Years on the Stage, were published in 1922.We are happy to ship multiple items in one package.
