Herbert Kelcey (October 10, 1856 â€" July 10, 1917) born Herbert Henry
Lamb, was an English-born American stage and film actor.Born in 1856
in London, Kelcey made his stage debut at Brighton, England, in 1877
and had his first appearance in London in 1880. He came to New York
and first appeared at Wallack's Theatre in 1882. He appeared in many
society dramas. In the 1890s he formed a partnership with Effie
Shannon that mimicked English husband-wife acting teams like the
Bancrofts and the Kendals. In 1902 Kelcey became the second actor in
history to play Sherlock Holmes after famed William Gillette.Kelcey
was married to actress Caroline Hill from the 1870s to the early
1890s. Some film and theater sources claim he was later married to
Shannon, whom he was in a theatrical partnership with, but there is no
evidence they were ever married. Shannon had been married to Henry Guy
Carleton from 1890-92 so she would've been free to marry Kelcey when
they began their theatrical partnership. Kelcey died in 1917 and
Shannon long outlived him. When she died in 1954 she was buried beside
him in Saint Anns Cemetery in Sayville New York. Herbert Kelcey Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
