Macready's production of Macbeth. His theatric- 

 al experience went as far back as a performance 

 of The Hunchback, when he acted Fathom to 

 the Master Walter of Sheridan Knowles, author 

 of the play. He also appeared in support of 

 Charlotte Cushman and Fanny Kemble. After 

 he left London he became the manager of a 

 theater in Devonport, and in a few years lie owned 

 a circuit of theaters in Torquay, Exeter, and 

 Teignmouth. All the famous actors of the day 

 appeared in those theaters, including Mme. 

 Vestris and Charles Mathews, who played under 

 his management just after their marriage. In 

 his later years Mr. Doel became the idol of the 

 theatrical profession in his own country, and in 

 1897, at the time of the great jubilee, Queen 

 Victoria showed him special honor, as being the 

 oldest living English actor. 



Doiikiii, Bryan, English engineer, born in 

 18^5; died March 4, 1902. He was educated at

 Centrale des Arts et Metiers, in Paris. He was 

 then apprenticed in the large paper-making ma- 

 chinery works of his uncle at Bermondsey. In 

 1868 he became a partner in the firm. His claim 

 to scientific recognition rests on his experimental 

 work in thermodynamics. He carried out exten- 

 sive researches on the action of the steam-engine 

 and devised the " steam-revealer " that bears his 

 name. In his later years he gave much attention 

 to internal-combustion motors, and wrote a work
