This item is certified authentic by JG Autographs and comes with their Certificate of Authenticity. ES-641A Augustine-Célestine Schriwaneck, known as Scriwaneck was a French actress, born on June 3, 1823 1 in Rouen, who died on September 20, 1909 16th in Paris. Her mother, Mademoiselle Leriche, was an actress at the Théâtre des Arts in Rouenwhen she met the virtuoso cellist of Dutch origin Charles-Guillaume Schriwaneck, who also played with talent on the organ and piano. They had this daughter Celestin together. Charles-Guillaume then moved to Switzerland,where he married Fanny Hoffmann, and held the Cathedral of Lausanne from 1840 to 1867. Celestin began to play at a very young age, and she had no teacher but her mother. In 1843 she left Rouen for Paris, where she worked first at the Théâtre Beaumarchais,then in 1845 at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal,and finally, in 1849, at the Théâtre des Variétés. Subsequently she performed in several theatres in Paris (Théâtredu Châtelet, Théâtre des Folies-Dramatiques)and toured extensively in the provinces. According to Mlle Déjazet, Scriwaneck was the actress who played the roles of transvestite best. Yet in Major Cravachon, where she plays the role of Olympus, the role of transvestite, that of Amélie, is played by Aline Duval. One can imagine that Scriwaneck was not very tall. Indeed in Embrace, Folleville!, where she plays the role of Berthe, Folleville complains that the bride we want to impose on her, Berthe, is only 3 feet 9 inches, or about 1.22 m... But Folleville, constrained and disappointed, probably exaggerates a little. Scriwaneck was noticed by his pleasant voice, his fine and charming play. She had managed to take over the difficult succession of Mlle Déjazet at the Palais-Royal Theatre without falling into imitation. Outside of her profession, and throughout her life, she showed great human qualities, notably in 1870, at the Siege of Paris. She ended her career as a teacher. Her pupils included Theodore Botrel and little Stehlé, who played georges Feydeau's Bride in the Age of Bride at the age of 9.. Scriwaneck retired in 1887, and died on September 20, 1909, in Paris, 3 rue Poussin, single, at the age of 86
