See also:TERRY, See also:EDWARD O'See also:CONNOR (1844– ), See also:English actor, was See also:born in See also:London, and began his See also:stage career in a small and struggling way in the provinces. Between 1868 and 1875 he was the leading comedian at the Strand See also:theatre, London, but it was not till he joined Hollingshead's See also:company at the Gaiety in 1876 that he became a public favourite in the burlesques produced there during the next eight years. With Nellie See also:Farren, Kate See also:Vaughan and Royce, he made the See also:fortune of this See also:house, his See also:eccentric acting and singing creating a See also:style which had many imitators. In 1887 he went into management, opening Terry's theatre, where his See also:production of See also:Pinero's Sweet See also:Lavender was a See also:great success. But in subsequent years he was only occasionally seen at his own theatre, and made many See also:tours in the provinces and in See also:Australia, See also:America and See also:South See also:Africa. Off the stage he was well known as an ardent See also:Free-See also:mason, and an indefatigable member of the See also:councils of many charities and of public bodies.
