Charles Rogers - A King of Nowhere
- well, at least that's the name of a production he was in (and potentially stage managed). A King of Nowhere was a production staged in 1916 at the Maxine Elliott and Thirty Ninth Street theaters in Manhattan, and it was produced by The Garrick Company. It was a fictional romantic comedy about the court of King Henry VIII, and starred the famous actor Lou Tellegen (who, if you haven't already heard of him, was also a pretty fascinating guy!) as Godric, a celtic knight and prisoner of war. Lou was also a director of the play, alongside Jessie Bonstelle. Charlie was cast in this production as John Skinner, who is depicted in this play as the gardener at Hampton Court Palace. This production is also the first time we professionally hear anything about a very talented young actress called Irene Bell (who was actually at this time already Mrs Irene Rogers), who was playing Mistress Eleanor Courtenay.
