From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Arthur Bourchier (born 1864), English actor, was born in Berkshire, and educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford. At the university he became prominent as an amateur actor in connection with the O.U.A.D.C., which he founded, and in 1889 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 the actress Violet Vanbrugh, elder sister of the no less well-known actress Irene Vanbrugh, and he and his wife subsequently took the leading parts under his management of the Garrick theatre. Both as tragedian and comedian Mr Bourchier took high rank on the London stage, and his career as actor-manager was remarkable for the production of a number of successful and (at the time) modern plays, by Mr Sutro and others.
