CHARLES KEMBLE (17751854)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 724 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHARLES KEMBLE (17751854) , a younger brother of John Philip and Stephen, was born at
Brecon
 ,
South
  Wales, on the 25th of November 1775. He, too, was educated at Douai.
After returning to England in 1792, he obtained a situation in the post-office, but this he soon resigned for the stage, making his first recorded
appearance
  at Sheffield as Orlando in As You Like It in that year. During the early period of his career as an actor he made his way slowly to public favour. For a considerable time he played with his brother and
sister
 , chiefly in secondary parts, and this with a grace and finish which received scant justice from the critics. His first London
appearance
  was on the 21st of April 1794, as
Malcolm
  to his brother's Macbeth. Ultimately he won independent fame, especially in such characters as Archer in George Farquhar's Beaux' Stratagem, Dorincourt in Mrs Cowley's Belle's Stratagem, Charles Surface and Ranger in Dr Benjamin Hoadley's Suspicious Husband. His Laertes and Macduff were hardly less interesting than his brother's -Hamlet and Macbeth. In comedy he was ably supported by his wife, Marie Therese De Camp (1774-1838), whom he married on the 2nd of July 18o6. His visit, with his daughter Fanny, to America during 1832 and 1834, aroused much enthusiasm. The later period of his career was clouded by money embarrassments in connexion with his
joint
  proprietorship in Covent Garden theatre. He formally retired from the stage in December 1836, but his final appearance was on the loth of April 184o. For some time he held the office of examiner of plays. In 18441845 he gave readings from Shakespeare at Willis's Rooms. He died on the 12th of November 1854. Macready regarded his Cassio as incomparable, and summed him up as " a first-rate actor of second-rate parts."
