BOURCHIER, ARTHUR (1863-1927), English actor, was born on June 22, 1863, and educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford. At the university he became prominent as an amateur actor in connection with the O.U.D.S., which he founded, and in 188g he joined Mrs. Langtry as a professional. He also acted with Charles Wyndham at the Criterion, and was for a while in Daly's company in America. In 1894 he married Violet Vanbrugh, with whom he subsequently took the leading parts under his own man agement. In 1918 he married Miss Kyrle Bellew. Both as trage dian and comedian Mr. Bourchier took high rank on the London stage, and as actor-manager produced successful modern plays by Mr. Sutro and others. He played many Shakespearian parts, but he is best remembered for parts like the broker's man in Tilly of Bloomsbury and John Silver in Treasure Island. He used to say with pride that he was the only London actor-manager having his own theatre and working without a syndicate or a financial partner. He died in South Africa, Sept. 14, 1927.
