Per Sydney Morning Herald. 19 Oct 1899. Obituary. London, Oct 17. The death is announced of Mr. Lawrence Cautley, the actor.

Mr. Lawrence Cautley, whose real name was Lawrence Aubrey Desborough, came out to Australia under engagement to Messrs. Williamson and Musgrove, and made his Sydney debute at the Theatre Royal on December 6, 1890. The circumstances were peculiar, as Mr. J.L. Toole had been delayed in New Zealand, and Mr. Cautley was accordingly called upon to appear at brief notice as Wilard Denver in the Silver King.

(Grateful acknowledgements to Joan Nourani for this information)

 

Lawrence Cautley appeared in a production of the play "In the Days of the Duke" (by C Haddon Chambers), 1897 – 1898, at The Adelphi Theatre, London.

DEATH OF AN ACTOR

WELL-KNOWN IN AUSTRALIA.

Tho death is announced of Mr. Lawrence Cautley, an actor well-known in the Australian colonies some years ago.

[Mr. Cautley made some reputation in these colonies as an actor in high-class drama. About seven years ago he married, at Sydney, Miss Fischer, daughter of a well known lady journalist of that city, since deceased; and, shortly afterwards, Mr. and Mrs. Cautley went to England and America. Mrs. Cautley joined her husband on the stage, and, possessing personal graces and high intelligence, she was, at least for a time, successful. When she married Mr. Cautley she was the widow of Professor Andrew, of the Melbourne University, whose wife she had become at a very early age.]
