Marcelle Praince (9 June 1882 – 26 October 1969) was a French actress.
Praince was born Célestine Cardi in Vigeois, Corrèze, France and died in Maisons-Laffitte, Yvelines.
Praince acted in dozens of films and appeared in stage productions.[1][2] As a young woman she was considered a fashionable stage beauty.[3][4] During World War I, she was a member of the French Army Theater (Theatre aux Armes), a troupe of performers who entertained French soldiers in villages close to the front; her "beauty has cheered many a man about to die, or brought him back from the clutch of death", wrote Maude Radford Warren, a Canadian reporter, in 1917.[5]
Praince performed in French productions in London, including the revue Plantons les capucines (1914).[1][6] In 1921 she appeared in three Louis Verneuil plays on the London stage: Le traité d'Auteuil, L'honneur de Letournel, and La jeune fille au bain.[7] She was in a French adaptation of Harvey at the Theatre Antoine in 1950.[8]
