Morris, William

Morris, William
(1861-1936)
   Born in Boston, Massachusetts, the actor is not to be confused with his contemporary (1873-1932), "the dean of the golden age of vaudeville," of the same name. The actor Morris began his stage career in 1876 with the Boston Museum, made his New York debut in 1882 with Augustin Daly's company, toured with Minnie Maddern Fiske (1886-1887) and with Helena Modjeska (1887-1888), and performed in stock in San Francisco (1889-1890). Returning to New York, he played several major roles on Broadway in the 1890s. He toured with Olga Nethersole in 1909. He continued his legitimate stage career in New York and San Francisco until 1932.
