Besides, in his later years, 'the 100th anniversary of the third Utaemon NAKAMURA' held at the Kabuki-za Theater in November of 1936 and top actors of the East and of the West all gathered and performed "Himaneki no Kiyomori" with the total of ninety actors, Utaemon played the leading role TAIRA no Kiyomori, sitting like a king at the middle of the ninety performers; his brilliant performance on the stage has been still told among people (the film recording the stage was found resently).
また、晩年の1936年（昭和11年）11月歌舞伎座で行われた「三代目中村歌右衛門百年祭」には東西の幹部俳優が集まり、『日招きの清盛』では総勢九十名の出演者の真ん中に王者のように座して平清盛を演じたが、その立派さは後世の語り草となっている（近年、その舞台のフィルムが発見された）。
