Hubert Carter played many parts in Shakespeare's plays and was active on the stage until 1931, three years before his death. His first stage appearance was in 1889 and his first London engagement was in 1895. In 1897 he played his first part in a London production of Shakepeare as Francisco in Hamlet.

He gained critical attention when he played with Ellen Terry in 1903 as Borachio in Much Ado About Nothing; after that he went on to score successes as Othello, Shylock, and Macbeth. During his career he appeared in more than 25 productions of Shakespeare; in addition, he toured various universities in the United States performing various Shakespearean parts in dramatic recitals.

The picture of Carter is from a card with a photograph by "The Daily Sketch." The publisher is E. Hulton and Co., London and Manchester.
