Henry Kemble (actor, born 1848)

After a year or so as a junior member of the company there, he took old men and character parts in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Scarborough and Newcastle upon Tyne.

On 29 August 1874 he made his first appearance in London at Drury Lane as Tony Foster in Andrew Halliday's Amy Robsart and was the original Philip of France in the same author's Richard Coeur de Lion.

In September 1876 he appeared at the Prince of Wales Theatre as Crossby Beck in Bolton and Saville Rowe's Peril (an adaptation of Victorien Sardou's Nos intimes), followed by the parts of Sir Oliver Surface in The School for Scandal and Mr Trelawney Smith in an adaptation of Sardou's Duty by Albery.

For the next fifteen years Kemble played lesser roles in the West End, including some Shakespeare at the Haymarket.

His last stage appearance was in April 1907 as Archibald Coke in Henry Arthur Jones's The Liars at the Criterion Theatre.
