The grantee was Chairman of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. His connection with music and the theatre is reflected in the Arms where the papillonny suggests theatre seats, the pale and pallet forming a central red-carpeted aisle. The dragons and the Welsh triple harps are an obvious allusion to Wales and music with the roebuck providing a pun on Rowe.
