France (1868-06-30)30 June 1868 Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, England, UK Died 13 April 1949(1949-04-13) (aged 80) Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, England, UK Occupation Actor Years active 1910–44 **Charles Vernon France** (30 June 1868 – 13 April 1949) was a British actor, usually credited as **C. V. France**. ## Stage career France appeared (along with [Ralph Richardson](/source/Ralph_Richardson)) in [William Somerset Maugham](/source/William_Somerset_Maugham)'s 1932 play *[For Services Rendered](/source/For_Services_Rendered#Original_Production): A Play in Three Acts* and [Maurice Baring](/source/Maurice_Baring)'s 1912 drama *The Grey Stocking: A Play in Four Acts.* France's stage acting was singled out for praise in Maugham's 1938 literary memoir, *[The Summing Up](/source/The_Summing_Up)*: "…But there is one actor whom, since he has never reached the rank of a star, and so has hardly received the recognition that he deserves, I should like to mention. This is C. V. France. He has acted in several of my plays. He has never played a part in which he has not been admirable. He has represented to the smallest particular the character that I had in my mind’s eye. It would be difficult to find on the English stage a more competent, intelligent, and versatile actor". ## Complete filmography - *[The Blue Bird](/source/The_Blue_Bird_(1910_film))* (1910, short) – Time - *[Eugene Aram](/source/Eugene_Aram_(1924_film))* (1924) – Squire Lester - *[The Burgomaster of Stilemonde](/source/The_Burgomaster_of_Stilemonde)* (1929) - *[The Loves of Robert Burns](/source/The_Loves_of_Robert_Burns)* (1930) – Lord Farquhar - *[The Skin Game](/source/The_Skin_Game_(1931_film))* (1931) – Mr. Hillcrist – The Hillcrists - *[These Charming People](/source/These_Charming_People)* (1931) – Minx - *[Black Coffee](/source/Black_Coffee_(1931_film))* (1931) – Sir Claude Amory - *[A Night Like This](/source/A_Night_Like_This_(1932_film))* (1932) – Micky the Mailer - *[Lord Edgware Dies](/source/Lord_Edgware_Dies_(film))* (1934) – Lord Edgware - *[Royal Cavalcade](/source/Royal_Cavalcade)* (1935) – Father - *[Scrooge](/source/Scrooge_(1935_film))* (1935) – Spirit of Christmas Future - *[Tudor Rose](/source/Tudor_Rose_(film))* (1936) – Clergy at Execution (uncredited) - *[Broken Blossoms](/source/Broken_Blossoms_(1936_film))* (1936) – High Priest - *[Crime Over London](/source/Crime_Over_London)* (1936) – (uncredited) - *[Victoria the Great](/source/Victoria_the_Great)* (1937) – Archbishop of Canterbury - *[A Yank at Oxford](/source/A_Yank_at_Oxford)* (1938) – Dean Snodgrass - *[Strange Boarders](/source/Strange_Boarders)* (1938) – Col.
