"GEORGE EDWARDES (1852-1915), English theatrical manager, was born in Ireland Oct. 8 1852. He was educated for the army but deviated into theatrical business and became manager successively to Michael Gunn at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, and to D'Oyley Carte at the Savoy theatre, London. In 1885 he joined John Hollingshead at the Gaiety theatre, London, and the next year took over the sole management of that theatre, which he ran with striking success up to the time of his death. He also built and managed Daly's theatre, was managing director of the Empire theatre and at different times acted as manager, or producer, at a number of other London theatres. Incidentally he was well known as an owner of racehorses. He died in London Oct. 9 1915, never having quite recovered from the effects of confinement in Germany, where he was interned on the outbreak of the war.
