Engagement of Mr. William Owen
and Associate Players
Jefferson Theatre
Tuesday Evening, February 8th
1910
"Our stage in recent seasons has not seen a worthier or more earnest exponent of Shakesperian drama than William Owen. he is a polished, virile and impressive actor, who has reduced the art of acting to its finest point, and who combines a handsome face, beautiful voice, dignified bearing, temperament, rare intelligence and genuine ability with his work. His training has been with the greatest actors of the past generation, and he has stood the test of more than fourteen years at the head of his own company and has a following throughout the country which is accorded but few of our actors today." - From a folder issued by the English Department of the University of Illinois.
Mr. J. W. McConnell has been associated with Mr. Owen for more than fourteen years. He was reared in the best traditions of the stage and under such masters as Booth, Barrett, McCullough, Barry Sullivan, Mrs. d. P. Bowers, Madame Modjeska and Mary Anderson. With all these he has played important parts and each has contributed something to his development until today he ranks well as one of the foremost American actors.
