Hubert Van Hook was the son of Dr. Weller Van Hook and his wife Anna. The boy was viewed as a possible vehicle for the World Teacher until Charles Leadbeater decided to cast Jiddu Krishnamurti in that role.
While he lived at the Adyar headquarters of the Theosophical Society, Hubert learned to play the violin quite well, tutored by Mr. Schwartz, the Society's Treasurer. Clara Codd described an occasion when she accompanied him on the piano as he played Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata.[1]
