  Charles Albert Fechter - LoveToKnow 1911
CHARLES ALBERT FECHTER (1824-1879), Anglo-French actor, was born, probably in London, on the 2 3 rd of October 1824, of French parents, although his mother was of Piedmontese and his father of German extraction.
The tour was a failure, and the company broke up; whereupon Fechter returned home and worked assiduously at sculpture.
After this he appeared at the Adelphi (1868) as Obenreizer in No Thoroughfare, by Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins, as Edmond Dantes in Monte Cristo, and as Count de Leyrac in Black and White, a play in which the actor himself collaborated with Wilkie Collins.

Alice Fechter (paternal grandmother) was born in Conway, Massachusetts on 31 July 1868 and died in New Haven, Connecticut on 12 May 1924.
She was the daughter of Henry Albert Fechter who was born on 5 October 1845 in Southbridge, Massachusetts and died on 23 September 1909 in Durham, Connecticut.
Henry's wife, Alice Edgerton Fechter, nee Alice G. Edgerton, and presumably a member of Fechter family entertainers, seems to be a direct descendant of one Richard Edgerton, the first Edgerton in America, who emigrated from England to Connecticut in the mid-1600’s and became one of the original proprietors of Norwich, Connecticut.

Altogether later is the undated mezzotint portrait of Ellen Terry as Ophelia by Charles William Campbell (or after Campbell) that shows her full length, head and eyes slightly raised, and standing in a densely wooded setting.
It was edited by the husband and wife team of Charles and Mary Cowden Clarke, although it seems clear that much of the labor for the elaborate annotations was by the latter.

Also assisting in the adaptation was the actor Charles Albert Fechter, a mutual friend to the two authors, whose role as the villainous Obenreizer would be the great hit of the performance.
Fechter, who, for the first time since his sojurn in England, has been fitted with a part in which his foreign accent is in his favour.
Charles would, I know, be most especially surprised at its success for he seems to have had little hope of it, from what he says in his letter.

A Canadian play, Fleur de Liane, would have been produced at the Ambigu but for the death of the manager.
Le Bossu, which he wrote for Charles Albert Fechter, did not satisfy the actor; and when the play was successfully produced, the nominal authorship, by some unfortunate arrangement, had been transferred to other men.
M Sardou submitted to Adolphe Montigny (Lemoine-Montigny), manager of the Gymnase, a play entitled Paris a l'envers, which contained the love scene, afterwards so famous, in Nos Intimes.

Anglo-French actor Charles Albert Fechter losed last week a series of performances which have not added to, as they have also not diminished his reputation, and by which he must have lost not a little money.
The play "The Corsican Brothers," which was the chief attraction of his last series of performances, is suited perhaps better than any other play in his repertory to the display of his brilliant, impressive, and picturesque, yet probably simple method of acting.
