(1855-1911) A professional actor brought out to South Africa in early 1892 by Luscombe Searelle, with his partner of Mrs Brown-Potter. A handsome man, who started performing in Australia, and for many years regarded as the foremost lover on the English stage, he had acted with the Bancrofts and Sir Henry Irving. The They played scenes from Romeo and Juliet, Camille and Hamlet. They returned to England toward the end of February after the Exhibition Theatre burnt down, with all their costumes. Bellew later settled in Australia, making a fortune in mining, before triumphantly returning to the New York stage in 1902.
