TREE, SIR HERBERT BEERBOHM (1853- ) , English actor and manager, was born in London, on the 17th of December 18J3, the son of Julius Beerbohm, a London merchant of German parentage; his half-brother, Max Beerbohm (b. 1872), became well known as a dramatic critic, a miscellaneous writer and caricaturist.
