Dickens Charles 1812 1870. Brougham John Assumed Playwright. LeMoyne William. J. 1831 1905 Actor
NOREMBEGA HALL PLAYBILL for The OLD CURIOSITY SHOP or Little Nell the Marchioness.; with The Comic Drama of URIAH HEEP The 'UMBLE
Boston: Boston Job Print Alden Street n. d. 1st printing presumed ca 1880. Not found in Bolton. Age-toning to paper with small diagonal crease to upper right corner otherwise VG. Single sheet broadside 10-1/4" x 4-3/8" 17 lines of text. <br/><br/>A playbill advertising LeMoyne & "His Celebrated Company" with "the entire Company in both Pieces." as appearing at Bangor Maine's famed Norembega Hall erected in the mid-1850s. Le Moyne an actor of some repute who after the Civil War "returned to the stage where he remained active until the dawn of the twentieth century. 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. Bolton OCS 10; we find no record of this performance in Bolton nor whatsoever of "Uriah Heep the 'Umble". perhaps a bespoke piece tailored strictly for LeMoyne. Boston Job Print, Alden Street unknown
