See also:FECHTER, See also:CHARLES See also:ALBERT (1824–1879) , Anglo-See also:French actor, was See also:born, probably in See also:London, on the 23rd of See also:October 1824, of French parents, although his See also:mother was of Piedmontese and his See also:father of See also:German extraction. The boy would probablyhave devoted himself to a sculptor's See also:life but for the See also:accident of a striking success made in some private theatricals. The result was an engagement in 1841 to See also:play in a travelling See also:company that was going to See also:Italy. The tour was a failure, and the company See also:broke up; whereupon Fechter returned See also:home and worked assiduously at See also:sculpture. At the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

He acquitted himself with See also:credit; but, tired of the small parts he found himself condemned to play, returned again to his sculptor's studio in 1846. In that See also:year he accepted an engagement to play with a French company in See also:Berlin, where he made his first decisive success as an actor. On his return to See also:Paris in the following year he married the actress Eleonore Rabut (d. 1895).

The result was an extraordinary triumph, the play See also:running for 115 nights. This was followed by Othello, in which he played alternately the See also:Moor and lago.
