New page

Mr [[L.P. Cauvin]] (18**-18**) was a Cape Town businessman and theatre owner, living at 33 Wale Street in Cape Town.

He is first mentioned regarding theatrical activities in 1829, when he was in charge of the subscription lists for a charity performance in aid of the survivors of the French ship ''L'Eole'', wrecked on the east coast. Planned as a joint performance by an English, a [[Dutch]] and a French company, it ended up as a performance on 11 July by two English companies only: the [[English Theatrical Amateur Company]] and the [[Cape Town Amateur Company]].

He next appears as one of the two trustees to whom [[William White]] sold a piece of ground on Constitution Hill to erect the [[Drury Lane Theatre]] (the other was [[John Francis Long]]). It would appear the three were the owners and managers of that theatre from 1846 to about 1851.
