MONVEL (1745-1812) ,
French
  actor and dramatic writer, whose real name was Jacques Marie Boutet, was born in Lunev'lle on the 25th of
March
  1745. He was a small, thin man without good looks or voice, and yet he became one of the greatest comedians of his time. After some years of
apprenticeship
  in the provinces, he made his debut in 1770 at the Comedie Francaise in Merope and Zenaide; he was received societaire in 1772. For some reason unknown
Monvel
  secretly left Paris for
Sweden
  about 1781, and became reader to the king, a post which he held for several years. At the Revolution he returned to Paris, embraced its principles with ardour, and in 1791 joined the theatre in the rue
Richelieu
 (the rival of the Comedie Francaise), which, under Talma, with Dugazon, his
sister
  Mme
Vestris
 , Grandmesnil (1737-1816) and Mme
Desgarcins
 , was soon to become the Theatre de la Republique. After the Revolution
Monvel
  returned to the reconstituted Comedie Francaise with all his old companions, but retired in 1807. Monvel was made a member of the Institute in 1795. He wrote six plays (four of them performed at the Comedie Francaise), two comedies, and fifteen comic operas, seven with music by N. Dezede (1740-1792), eight by Nicolas d'Alayrac (1753-1809. He also
xvu1. 26published an historical novel, Fredegonde et Brunehaut (1776). He was professor of elocution at the Conservatoire. Monvel's two daughters, Mlles Mars ainee and cadette, were well-known actresses.
