COQUELIN, BENOIT CONSTANT (1841-1909), French actor, known as Coquelin
_aine_, was born at Boulogne on the 23rd of January 1841. He was
originally intended to follow his father's trade of baker (he was once
called _un boulanger manque_ by a hostile critic), but his love of
acting led him to the Conservatoire, where he entered Regnier's class in
1859. He won the first prize for comedy within a year, and made his
debut on the 7th of December 1860 at the Comedie Francaise as the comic
valet, Gros-Rene, in Moliere's _Depit amoureux_, but his first great
success was as Figaro, in the following year. He was made _societaire_
in 1864, and during the next twenty-two years he created at the Francais
the leading parts in forty-four new plays, including Theodore de
Banville's _Gringoire_ (1867), Paul Ferrier's _Tabarin_ (1871), Emile
Augier's _Paul Forestier_ (1871), _L'Etrangere_ (1876) by the younger
Dumas, Charles Lomon's _Jean Dacier_ (1877), Edward Pailleron's _Le
Monde ou l'on s'ennuie_ (1881), Erckmann and Chatrian's _Les Rantzau_
(1884). In consequence of a dispute with the authorities over the
question of his right to make provincial tours in France he resigned in
1886. Three years
