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