iv. education and . mental culture.
This new troupe was organized by A. J. v. Höpken (1712—89) and began its
activities in 1737 under the name of the "Royal Swedish Stage", with the
French actor Charles Langlois for its scenic instructor. The best known among
the players of this Swedish stage are: P. Lindahl (1712—92), P. Stenborg (1719
—81), and Mrs E. Olin (1740—1828).
G. Fredrikson.
Langlois did not succeed, however, in keeping up the reputation of this stage
for any length of time; it degenerated more and more and finally, in 1753, was
replaced by a French company which had been called in. It was then P.
Stenborg who, many years later, with unwearied energy tried to keep native dramatic
art alive, and his exertions were crowned with success, when Gustavus III started
the Swedish theatre anew; as the first instructor of this theatre he engaged the
Frenchman Monvel, father of M:lle Mars. Famous actors of that time were A. de
Br o en (1758 — 1804), L. Deland (1772—1823), G. F. Åbergsson (1775—1852)^
Elisabet Fahlgren (1771—1850), and Maria Kristina Ruckman (1769—1847)
