Description: Portrait of: JAMES EDWARD MURDOCH, Born in Philadelphia, January 25, 1811. Died at his home in Cincinnati, Ohio, May 19, 1893. Young Murdoch showed a strong disposition to become an actor, and with this bend of mind he established an amateur dramatic club, and made his first effort in the Rev. Doctor Home's tragedy of "Douglas." For writing and publishing this tragedy, Doctor Home was compelled to leave the church. In 1829, Mr. Murdoch made his debut on the stage in the Arch Street Theatre, Philadelphia, and after that he played in most of the cities and towns of the United States, gradually rising in his profession, so that he was selected to support the most noted actors and actresses of his time. He was stage manager at the Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia, at the time of his election to membership in The St. Andrew's Society. In 1842, Mr. Murdoch retired from the stage to devote his time to lecturing on Shakespeare and the drama and to teaching elocution, in which he was very successful. In 1845 he returned to the stage, appearing in “Hamlet," Print Specifics: Type of print: Etching - Original antique printYear of printing: 1895 Publisher: Western Biographical Publishing Co., Cincinnati, Ohio Condition: 1 (1.
