Colson was as the son of a portrait-painter. He showed decided artistic talent, but soon deserted the brush for the stage under the name of Bellecour. After playing in the provinces he was called to the Comédie-Française , but his debut, on the December 21 1750 , as Achilles in '' Iphigénie '' was not a great success. He soon turned to more congenial Comedy roles, which for thirty years he filled with great credit. He was a very natural player, and his willingness to give others on the stage an opportunity to show their talents made him extremely popular. He wrote a successful play, ''Fausses apparences'' (1761), and was very useful to the Comédie-Française in editing and adapting the plays of others. His wife, Rose Perrine Le Roy De La Corbinaye , was a famous actress. REFERENCES |
