Bert Bowtie Director Hawtrey Manager Producer Smart Sofa Ananias Dicta Theatrical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming cartoon captures the essence of Sir Charles Henry Hawtrey (1858-1923), an English actor, director, producer, and manager, in his prime during the 1910s. Hawtrey, affectionately known as "Bert" to his friends and colleagues, was a versatile and popular figure in the theatrical world. In this playful illustration, Hawtrey is depicted in a smart evening dress, complete with a crisp bowtie, seated comfortably on a plush sofa. He holds a book in his hand, deep in thought, as if pondering his next theatrical production or directorial decision. The cartoonist has captured the serious expression on Hawtrey's face, contrasted with the lighthearted and whimsical nature of the drawing. The cartoon also includes a nod to Hawtrey's wit and quick thinking, as evidenced by the quote bubble above his head, which reads "Ananias Obiter Dicta." This Latin phrase translates to "Ananias' incidental remarks," a reference to Hawtrey's reputation for making insightful and clever comments off the cuff during rehearsals and performances. Sir Charles Henry Hawtrey's long and successful career spanned over five decades, during which he appeared in numerous productions on both the London and Broadway stages. He was also a prolific director and producer, responsible for bringing many classic plays to life for audiences around the world. This delightful cartoon serves as a reminder of Hawtrey's enduring legacy as a beloved and influential figure in the world of theatre.
