Biography

Henry James Montague, real name Henry James Mann, was an American actor, who first appeared on the London stage in the 1860s. He was popular with audiences after appearing at Wallack's in New York in 1874, and was associated with Lester Wallack (American actor-manager who ran the Wallack Theatre) for the rest of his life. According to the Oxford Companion to the Theatre (3rd ed. London: Oxford University Press, 1967), "it was said of him that people liked him for himself, and not for his acting." Montague died in 1878. http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person/mp89091/henry-james-montague-neacute-mann?search=sas&sText=henry+montague&OConly=true
