Etienne Arnal
1911 Encyclopedia Britannica
or ETIENNE ARNAL (1794-1872), French actor, was born at Meulan, Seine-et-Oise, on the 1st of February 1794. After serving in the army, and working in a button factory, he took to the stage. His first appearance (1815) was in tragedy, and for some time he was unsuccessful; it was not until 1827 that he showed his real ability in comedy parts, especially in plays by Felix August Duvert (1795-1876) and Augustin Theodore Lauzanne (1805-1877), whose Cabinets particuliers (1832), Le Mari de la dame de chceurs (1837), Passé minuit, L'Homme blasé (1843), La Clef dans le dos (1848 ) ,&c.,contained parts written for him. He was twenty years at the Vaudeville, and completed at the various Parisian theatres a stage career of nearly half a century. Arnal was the author of Epitre a boufe (1840), which is reprinted in his volume of poetry, Boutades en vers (1861).
