Lisboa: Editora Gráfica Portuguesa, 1938. 220, [6] pp.: il.; 240 mm. António Augusto de Chaby Pinheiro (Lisbon, 1873; Algueirão, 1933) was one of the most popular and charismatic Portuguese actors of his generation. He made his professional debut in 1896 at the Teatro Nacional D. Maria II, with the Rosas & Brazão Company, and over four decades worked in the main theaters of Lisbon and Porto, with tours to Brazil, distinguishing himself in genres as diverse as naturalist drama, comedy, and revue. His corpulence, transformed into an artistic trait, became inseparable from his public persona. He founded and directed his own company and also appeared in films, notably in Lisbon's Crónica Anedótica (1930), by Leitão de Barros. A document of interest for the history of Portuguese theater at the turn of the century. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
