Jan C. de Vos sr. (1855-1931) was a Dutch actor, director, writer and founder and director of several theatre companies. He was the son of a Hague headmaster and initially studied Dutch literature. He attended drama school in 1876 and made his debut with the Nederlandsch Tooneel in the same year. In 1890, with Willem van Korlaar Sr., he founded the Rotterdam Tivoli theatre company, of which he remained director for five years. During that period he also taught at the theatre school (1892-1915). He played less frequently in the period 1885-1887 when he founded the ‘Weekblad de Lantaarn’ and was editor-in-chief of the Haagsche Courant. He was married to Mina Valois and Guusje Poolman (son: Jan C. de Vos Jr.). De Vos also translated and wrote several plays, namely 'Na dertig jaren' (After Thirty Years), 'Suzanne' and with M.B. Mendes da Costa 'De schuld' (The Debt). He also appeared in Dutch silent films, such as De vrouw Clasina/The Woman Clasina (Maurits Binger, 1915) and Voorbeschikten/Forecasts (Tonny Stevens, 1920). Until 1921, when he had to take leave due to illness, he worked as an actor, director and stage manager with various companies.
