Bancroft was English actor and stage manager. He and his wife Effie Bancroft are considered to have instigated a new form of drama known as 'drawing-room comedy' or 'cup and saucer drama', owing to the realism of their stage sets. He was knighted in 1897, only the second actor to be so honored. Note dated Sept. 11th, 1885 on Garrick Club stationery: 'Dear Sir, Mr. Forbes-Robertson has my consent and with pleasure. Truly yours, Sq. Bancroft.' The note seems to be an absentee ballot for Forbes-Robertson's admission to the Garrick Club of which he was a member at the time of his death. Forbes-Robertson (1853-1937) was an actor and stage manager. He was knighted in 1913.
