He appeared in a number of plays based on the works of Charles Dickens as here playing such characters as Fagin Captain Cuttle Uriah Heep Squeers Plummer Dick Swiveller and Caleb. In Shakespeare's Hamlet Le Moyne is said to have played every major male role except that of the prince himself. Over his career Le Moyne performed with companies headed by legendary actors Edwin Booth Edwin Forrest and Charles Fletcher and in producer Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theatre Company." Wiki Brougham's Old Curiosity Shop apparently first performed in Boston 1866 cf.
