Augustus Glossop Harris

Augustus Glossop Harris (1825-1873)

Augustus Glossop Harris (5 June 1825 19 April 1873) was a British actor and theatre manager. Born in Italy in 1825 he was the son of Joseph Glossop, first manager of the Royal Coburg Theatre, and opera singer Mme Fron (aka Fearon), a former prima donna assoluta at La Scala in Milan. His early career saw limited success as a comedian in London and Augustus Glossop was imprisoned for bankruptcy in June 1848. By 1851 he had adopted the name Augustus Harris.
