KELLERD, JOHN E.

(1863-1929)

The actor was born in London, England, and came to America for the opening of the Boston Museum in 1883. He acted in support ofFrederick Warde, and then toured in a Shakespearean repertory. His long list of Broadway credits from 1886 to 1914 is mostly contemporary fare, but his reputation truly rested on his outstanding work in Shakespearean roles.
