Leslie Faber (actor)

His London debut was with Benson's company at the Lyceum in 1900, as the Duke of Westmorland in Henry V.[1] He rapidly established himself as a West End star.

[1] Most of the plays in which he appeared on Broadway and in the West End were popular but ephemeral, although he took part in a revival of Lady Windermere's Fan in 1905.

Resuming his stage career in 1919 he continued to appear in popular modern plays, but added some classics to his repertoire, including De Guiche in Cyrano de Bergerac (1919), Macduff in Macbeth (1921), Jason in Medea (1923), and John Worthing in The Importance of Being Earnest (1923).

[1] Shortly before his death, he had successfully embarked on theatrical management in partnership with Ronald Squire.

[3] Sir Michael Redgrave said that Faber was a "popular, high-paid 'star'-actor, but so complete an artist that he could appear in two leading parts in the same play without the audience knowing of it.
