About his role as Dr. Grimesby Rylott, he told to ''The Stage'' (29 september 1910) :<br />
<br />
« ''My study of Dr. Rylott was founded upon a man I knew years ago. A tremendous fellow he was — a perfect god of a man, as splendid mentally as he was in every other respect. I was fascinated by him. Then, as the result of fevers and other ailments from which he suffered in the colonies, his nerves began to break down. Partial paralysis set in, and the poor fellow became a wreck and died. Well, in my Dr. Rylott I copied that man to the life — every twitch of his muscles, every start and every shiver I reproduced but my conception of the part was entirely different from that of the author.'' »<br />
