Fhroughout his career of more than vears he was credited with hav- created more roles and imper- _sonated more characters than any on the American His Climb to Fame Mr. Drew’s real cilmb to fame began when he placed himself un- der the management of Augustin Daly and made his New York debut “at the Fifth Avenue Theatre as Rob | Ruggles in “The Big Bonanza.” In ihat play Fanny Davenport, a fa- mous stage beauty, was the leading lady. There followed two years of constant plugging for recognition, after which he joined Edwin Booth's company and played a long succession of secondary roles in Shakespenrean plays. He also ap- peared with Clara Morris in “Leah, the Forsaken.” By this time Mr. Drew began to attract the serious attention of ics and one of them wrote “He possesses drollery, the “talent of apparent spontaneity and the faculty of crisp emotion. He has surpassed all the young actors of his as the gay cavalier and the tantering farceur of the drawing room drama of modern social life.” Starred In “Diplomacy During the season of 1878-79 Mr. Drew toured the country with his brother-in-law, Maurice Barrymore and afterwards re- s Theatre, remaining under the management of Mr. Daly §92.

He con- tinued under Mr. Frohman's man- agement until 1915 and appeared in a new play regularly each season on Broadway. In several of them he toured the principal cities of the United Sta His Famous Plays of the vehicles in which achieved fame were “A Marriage of Con- venience, The Mummy and the Hummingbird ack Straw,” and| ingle Man.” One of his favor- | characters was Petruchio in “The | Taming of the Shrew.” Among the | most notable of his latter day suc. cesses were ‘“Major Pendenni “The Gay Lord Quex,” and “The Cat } Bird.” 3 Born in Philadelphia John Drew was born in Philadel- | phia November 13, 1853. He was ~'educated in private schools and the Episcopal Academy, Philadelphia, studying at the latter institution un- | til he was ready to make his stage | debut. In 1580 he married Joseph- ine Baker, an actress, of Philadel- phia. She died in 1918. They had one daughter, Louise Drew,. who eained distinction on the stage. Was Well Dressed Mr. Drew often was charac(erlzfld‘ as the best dressed man on the stage. He was fond of soclety and | ‘This knowledge of it served him well In many of his roles. So often did | he portray the character of one| exercising the manners and charac- teristics of a gentleman that lh|s‘ stage figure came to be known to theater-goers as a “John Drew role.” Mr. Drew’'s home was at East Hampton, Long Island. He was an expert tennis player, fencer and| swimmer and his favorite recrea- tions were horseback riding and fox hunting. In 1925 Mr. Drew made a memo- rial addr in Town Hall, New York. eulogizing Charles Frohman on tenth anniversary of Lusitania's sinking: later during the same year he made a formal presentation of the bust of Carlotta Cushman to the Hall of Fame at New York univer- Some Mr. Drew * Rosema . in an adiress on the ry of the fire depart- sity.

Mr. Drew «ffected the revival of “Trelawney of the Wells,”” with an all star cast. He presented this revival to a New York flullence’ which recelved it enthu- siastically and then made a tour for everal months on the rouad. Mr. Drew took little part in poli- tics, but in 1924 he was at the } of the Coolidge and Dawes ub.

Roper, after being warned that |, anything he said might be inst him in superior court, re- plied: “That's just why 1 want to say something.” He was not feeling well sterday after two weeks of heavy drinking, he said, and as he went through Main street about 5 o'clock in the afternoon Davis called to him and asked whether or not he | th had had a drink yet and Roper re- pliad that he had not had one since day before. Asked if he wanted a drink, he replied: re.” Davis then told him “there was a fellow in the blacksmith shop with all Kinds of money” and to go up Main street, up Lafayette and through | Nt the yards to the blacksmith shop. He did so and on arriving at the shop drinks were served. “A follow who hangs around a restaurant and a woman who s around town drinking were in there for half an hour or more and had some drinks, and T had some and so |in 2id Davis,” Roper said. “Davis took the money and as we walked out |0 he gave me $100 and kept $100 hLimself. Now the truth Questioned by cuting Attorney Sergeant Feeney he earned the money found in his pocket, Roper replied that naturally he wanted “to cover up.” “I thought I was get- ting arrested for being drunk,” he said. “I was pretty drunk. vou We had plenty of bottles and some beer.” Lieutenant Bamforth testified that on recelving Davls' report he sent Officers Hellberg and Brophy to the blacksmith shop and they found Neibling there, asleep. This was about 11:30 last night. When he was searched at police head- quarters he was surprised that h had no money and at once told th: police he had been “touched.” Of- Peter Skierkowski testified that Neibling was intoxicated. Judge Saxe asked Sergeant Feen- |ey what he thought of the possi- bility of others besides Roper be- ing implicated, as it did not seem probable that Roper alone could ! have disposed of the difference be- tween $240 and the $97.14 in his possession in a single evening. The sergeant replied that he did not know where the balance had gons. Judge Saxe said he felt it should be investigated and Mr. Woods re- plied that he would have the de- tective bureau look into the case at once. Finding probable cause, Judge Saxe asked Mr. Woods to recommend a bond. “I think $1,- (00,” Mr. Woods said, but Judg: Saxe made it $2.000, saying he be- lieved the amount of mon in- volved warranted a sizeable bond. “Your Honor, could I say some thing?" Roper asked from the prisoners’ pen after being hound over. “What do vou want to say?" Judge Saxe inquired. “If T had not } been asked to go down that alley | T would never have gone,” Roper replied, ending the cas Prosecuting Attorney Woods rey- ommended a nolle in the ecase of Neibling, charged with drunken- ness. “I feel he has been punishel sufficiently, and he is an old man," ‘\,lr' oWods 1.
