CHARLES GUSTAVE AUGUSTE LE BARGY (1858-), French actor, was born at La Chapelle (Seine). His talent both as a comedian and a serious actor was soon made evident, and he became a member of the Comedie Frangaise, his chief successes being in such plays as Le Duel, L'Enigme, Le Marquis de Priola, L'Autre Danger and Le Dedale. His wife, Simone le Bargy nee Benda, an accomplished actress, made her debut at the Gymnase in 1 9 02, and in later years had a great success in La Rafale and other plays. In 1910 he had differences with the authorities of the Comedie Frangaise and ceased to be a societaire.
