Oscar Tourniaire als Lodewijk Coornevelt in De Opstandigen
Vintage Dutch postcard. Part of a booklet of cards for the Dutch stage play De Opstandigen (The Rebels) by August Defresne and based on the novel by Jo van Ammers-Küller. It premiered on 6 November 1926 at the Hollandsche Schouwburg in Amsterdam and was performed by the company Het Nieuwe Nederlandsch Tooneel. Director and art director of the play was Louis Saalborn. Oscar Tourniaire had the male lead as the stern patriarch Lodewijk Coornvelt, while the female lead was for Jacqueline Royaards-Sandberg as Maria Elizabeth "Miebetje" Sylvain, the only one to resist the patriarch's autocratic, conservative rule.
Oscar Tourniaire (1880-1939) was a major Dutch stage actor. In 1898 he made his stage debut with the Koninklijke Vereeniging Het Nederlandsch Tooneel (K.V.H.N.T.) in Friends of Us by Sardou. On 4 November 1937, he celebrated his 40th anniversary with Ferdy's conversion of Langer. The Polygoon newsreel made a recording of him on the occasion of that anniversary. Tourniaire directed one silent film for Film-Fabriek Anton Nöggerath: Roze Kate (Pink Kate, 1912), starring Caroline van Dommelen and with Tourniaire in a supporting part. In 1911 he had already acted as prison warden in De bannelingen (The Exiles, Leon Boedels, Caroline van Dommelen, 1911), also with Van Dommelen in the lead, who was also co-director and scriptwriter of the film. As an actor, Tourniaire appeared in two sound films. He played Mr. Steenman in the musical comedy De Jantjes (The Bluejacks, Jaap Speyer, 1934), while he also co-acted in Klokslag Twaalf, the Dutch version of Léo Joannon's Quand Minuit Sonne (1936), starring Louis de Bree.
Oscar Tourniaire was the son of the actor Ernst Tourniaire. His sister Jopie was also an actress. He was buried at the Amsterdam cemetery Zorgvlied.
