Biography After taking lessons from Denis d'Inès, Maurice Escande won in 1912 at the Conservatoire, in the class of Raphaël Duflos, a first prize in Comedy and a second prize in tragedy, and made his debut at the Odéon theater. Military service and then the First World War interrupted his career for a while. Called for service in the infantry in October 1913, he was wounded by a shrapnel in the left flank on September 29, 1914 in Champien. Corporal stretcher bearer since May 1915, he was again shot in the left leg on July 26, 1916 in the Somme. He distinguished himself enough to obtain a citation which earned him the Croix de Guerre, and would later be president of the Association of Combatants. Having become unfit to campaign, he was placed on suspended appeal from November 1916 as an artist at the Odéon theater until the end of the war3. In 1918, he was hired at the Comédie-Française, where he debuted in Le Monde ou l'on s'ennui by Édouard Pailleron and in classical roles: Hippolyte in Phèdre, Pyrrhus in Andromaque, Rodrigue in Cid, Curiace in 'Horace, Sévère de Polyeucte, Didier de Marion Delorme, among others. Elegant, gifted with a musical voice, he interprets with panache the princes of tragedy and the lovers of comedy, where he plays with his charm and his casualness. From the little marquises of Molière to the major leading roles in the repertoire, he stands out with perfect diction and polished ease. In the modern repertoire, he plays seducers and aristocrats. In 1925, on the verge of being named a member, he left the Comédie-Française for an eight-year escapade during which he played on the boulevards contemporary authors such as Giraudoux (Judith), Jules Romains (The Masked King) with Louis Jouvet, or even Léopold Marchand and Henri Decoin. Asked by Cécile Sorel to play with her in La Dame aux camélias during her farewell evening, he returned and was named a member in 1936. As a director, his predilection is for Racine, of which he has produced several tragedies, Musset and Marivaux, whose sensitivity and elegance match his temperament. He rediscovered Suréna by Pierre Corneille, of which he also produced Cinna and Polyeucte. Grave of Maurice Escande in the Montrouge cemetery. Dean since 1956, he was called upon to replace administrator Claude Bréart de Boisanger in 1960, and became the first administrator-actor. His ten years in office constituted a period of intense work, opening new perspectives for the Comédie-Française: numerous French and foreign directors were called upon to work there, very contemporary authors, such as Audiberti, Ionesco and Schehadé, were represented. . As an honorary member, he still played some of his favorite roles until 1971, those of Orgon in The Game of Love and Chance, and Auguste de Cinna. As a teacher, he has trained numerous actors, including Jean Chevrier, Georges Marchal, Jacques Charon, Jacques Dacqmine, Serge Reggiani, Michel Bouquet, Micheline Boudet, Louise Conte, among others. In the cinema, he appeared in some seventy films, the first of which was before the war of 1914-1918. In the last one, Martin Soldier by Michel Deville, we saw him in his own role as general administrator of the Comédie-Française. His name was given to the rehearsal room set up in the basement of the Comédie-Française and reproducing the exact conditions of the stage. Maurice Escande is buried in the Montrouge cemetery.
