Frank Jaquet
Biography
Frank Garnier Jaquet was born on March 16, 1885, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the son of the editor of the Milwaukee "Sentinel." His first appearance on stage was as Little Lord Fauntleroy in a children's play. However, the real beginning of his acting career was rather odd. Jessie Pringle was heading a stock company on Chicago's West Side. One week they were to present a show called "Arrah Gopaugh, or Warwick Wedding," in which Pringle had to do an Irish jig. Just before a performance she sprained her ankle badly. She would be able to play the part, but could not do the dance. The company sent for Jaquet, then a young man. Pringle did the whole show until it came time for the jig, at which point Jaquet, in dress and wig, stepped in, did the dance, then exited for Pringle to complete the show. Jaquet had made his professional debut, impersonating a woman.
