Robert Soutar
Robert Soutar (1830 – 28 September 1908) was an English actor, comedian, stage manager, writer and director for the theatre. He began his career as a journalist but soon moved into acting. In 1867, he married actress Nellie Farren, and the next year, the two joined the company at the Gaiety Theatre in London. There, he stage managed and wrote for the theatre in addition to acting. His wife became well known for her roles as the "principal boy" in musical burlesques at the theatre. Soutar also directed plays and wrote pantomimes and other pieces. His son was the actor and singer Joseph Farren Soutar.
==Early life and career==
Born in London, Soutar trained as a journalist, in which capacity he worked for a period on the ''Morning Advertiser'', of which his father was for many years working editor. He began his connection with the theatre in 1852 as an amateur actor.〔Stewart, Maurice. "The spark that lit the bonfire", in ''Gilbert and Sullivan News'' (London), Spring 2003.〕
After a period at the Brighton Theatre he played Captain Pertinax in ''Taming a Truant'' at London's Olympic Theatre in 1863.〔(Revival of ''Olympic Theatre'' ), ''Footlights Notes'', reprinting information from ''The Sporting Gazette'', London, 11 April 1863, p. 383b, accessed 8 October 2013〕 He married the actress Nellie Farren on 8 December 1867;〔〔("Robert Soutar" ), England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index, 1837–1915, ''Ancestry.com''〕〔(Article about the Gaiety tour of Australia )〕 they met when they were both members of the company at the Olympic Theatre. Their sons were Henry Robert Soutar (1868–1928), an actor and later a general labourer,〔("Death Certificate for Henry Robert Soutar (1928)" ), ''Ancestry.com'', accessed 16 October 2013〕 and the actor Joseph Farren Soutar.〔〔〔(Farren Soutar ) on the Internet Movie Database〕 At the Adelphi Theatre in 1868, Soutar's one-act farce, ''The Fast Coach'', written with C.
