William Owen.

William Owen is essentially an actor endowed with splendid physique, resonant voice and engaging features. He is one of the most eminent exponents of the Shakespearian drama on the American stage. He is an actor of fine fibre and expression.

Mr. Owen and his distinguished colleague, J. W. McConnell, have, during their long association, produced all the well known plays of Shakespeare. Bulwer Lytoon, Sheridan etc. One of his greatest artistic successes has been achieved in Othello as Iago. His great power in this role reaches the pinnacle of realism, lie is one of the few actors whose art is broad enough to make him thoroughly at home in romantic, tragic and comedy roles, lie has won the approval of the critics in our best cities and the quality of his performance creates a desire for his return and an appetite for the good, legitimate drama.
