[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 75064, member: 33"]Found it! The play was called [I]The Duke's Motto: a Melodrama[/I]. His character's name was Henry de Lagardere (although the link says some postcards call the character Henry de Lagardine). He played the role in 1908. I had forgotten about this very useful site about Shakespearean actors. It does include other plays, too.
