==Early career==
William J. Le Moyne (sometimes spelled Lemoyne or LeMoyne) was born on April 29, 1831 in Boston, Massachusetts〔Players of the present, Volume 1 By John Bouvé Clapp, Edwin Francis Edgett〕〔The National cyclopedia of American biography, Volume 5, 1894〕 where he began performing in amateur theater productions at around the age of fifteen.〔Players of the present, Volume 1 By John Bouvé Clapp, Edwin Francis Edgett〕 Le Moyne may have briefly supported himself as a silversmith〔1850 US Census records〕 before his professional stage debut on May 10, 1852 at Portland, Maine playing an officer in ''The Lady of Lyons'', a romantic drama by Edward Bulwer-Lytton.〔answere.com〕 Later that year Le Moyne joined the repertory company at Peale's Museum in Troy, New York, as a $6 a-week 'utility man' (bit player) that was later increased to $8 after he demonstrated an ability to play 'old man roles'. The company was largely made up of friends and family of its manager, George C. Howard and is remember for staging the first production of Uncle ''Tom's Cabin'' on September 27, 1852 at Peal's Museum.〔Troy, NY: A Collar City History By Don Rittner.〕 The play was an immediate hit and had a run of one hundred performances, remarkable at the time for a community the size of Troy. Le Moyne's tour with ''Uncle Tom's Cabin'' the following year paved the way for his one day becoming an actor of national standing.
