French Pencil Sketch School Study VICTOR BOUCHER 30s Film Star Sign J BONNET 30s

A well drawn sketch of "famous in his day" Victor Boucher - a handsome 30s film star.  Victor Boucher was born, on 24 August 1877, in Rouen, in a house on the rue Saint-Étienne-des-Tonneliers. His parents had a café-restaurant in Bihorel. Educated at the école Bellefonds in Rouen, he began acting in youth groups.

He worked as an accountant in Rouen.After his military service, he moved to Paris. He married Mariotta Claire in Neufchâtel-en-Bray in 1902. He had the luck, one day, to replace a sick actor in the Théâtre des Mathurins in Paris, and made a name for himself with his comic performance based on his stammering.  In 1927, he became a director of the Théâtre de la Michodière in Paris. He was president of the Association des artistes dramatiques. He died in Ville-d'Avray, on 21 February 1942, from a heart attack

From a school sketch book that I will be listing over the next few days from the same artist.
