LESLIE, FRED [FREDERICK HOBSON] (18551892)

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 492 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LESLIE, FRED [FREDERICK HOBSON] (18551892) , English actor, was born at Woolwich on the 1st of April 1855. He made his first stage
appearance
  in London as Colonel
Hardy
  in Paul Pry in 1878. He had a good voice, and in 1882 made a
great
  hit as Rip Van Winkle in Planquette's opera of that name at the Comedy. In 1885 he appeared at the Gaiety as
Jonathan
  Wild in H. P. Stephens and W. Yardley's
burlesque
  Little Jack
Sheppard
 . His extraordinary success in this part determined his subsequent career, and for some years he and Nelly
Farren
 , with whom he played in perfect association, were the pillars of Gaiety
burlesque
 .
Leslie
 's " Don Caesar de Bazan " in Ruy Blas, or the Blase Roue, was perhaps the most popular of his later parts. In all of them it was his own versatility and entertaining personality which formed the attraction; whether he sang, danced, whistled or " gagged," his performance was an unending flow of high spirits and ludicrous charm. Under the pseudonym of " A. C. Torr " he was acknowledged on the programmes as part-author of these burlesques, and while on occasion he acted in more serious comedy, for which he had undoubted capacity, his fame rests on his connexion with them. In 1881 and 1883 he played in America. He died on the 7th of December 1892.

Leslie
  (1894).
