How interesting! Gwenn had a wonderful voice, very rich and cordial sounding. He also had a similar face which could look cordial, yet I can see him also playing a ruthless businessman.

I see what you mean about Mary Clare being a beauty. There's a gorgeous photo of her as Queen Eleanor in "Becket" (1923) in Warren's 'British Film Studios'. Clare is on Ken's list, living at Little Warley Hill, Little Warley, Essex, in 1933. That year she made "The Constant Nymph" with Brian Aherne at Shepherd's Bush. How close would Little Warley have been to the studio?

As a side note: Mary Clare was in two Bogarde films: Esther Waters (1948) and Penny Princess (1952).

Such fun chatting about these old films,

They already have him recorded as music arranger: choral music (uncredited).
That would have included the title music.

Doing a trawl through the PaPAS email archives and web site I find an article about Allan Gray which talks about Robert Farnon & his work on IKWIG.

A small addition or two to Allan Gray's address [c1949] The name of his house was 'Glenview', and the telephone number was Amersham 1193.

That 1933 version is the sound remake; she plays the same role in the silent original, with Ivor Novello and Mabel Poulton; Brian Aherne or no, the silent version is rated higher...but even by 1927 she's getting ....matronly???
Incidentally, the woman I love, unrequitedly, I hasten to add, lusts after Brian Aherne, circa 1929. What hope do I have??

Thanks again for Part 4, Ken. Very much looking forward to any other addresses you might care to share.
When I have a few free minutes, I enjoy browsing the names at IMDB, which is like opening treasure boxes.
For example, Sir Seymour Hicks, actor, writer, director, and knighted, who enjoyed playing Scrooge. By the time he did the film role in 1913, by accounts, he had performed Scrooge on the London stage at least 2,000 times. The year he was knighted, 1935, he reprised the role in yet another film version. And, as you note, he was married to Ellaline Terriss, of the Terriss film family, who died ten months shy of her 100th birthday.

Hicks and Terriss are not the most famous of the names above, Leslie Howard, Ursula Jeans, etc. but finding out about them is what makes the search so delicious.

Best,

Barbara

In a different thread, Julian asked what several actors had in common saying that MacFarlane's EOBF would tell. Here's a similar question: what do these four actors, who are included in Ken's lists of addresses, have in common?

Gordon Harker, 45, Belsize Avenue, London, NW.3,
Ian Hunter, 7, Belsize Park, London, SW.3,
Mickie Brantford, 20, Wakeman's Hill, Kingsbury, London, NW.9, and
Donald Calthrop, 30, Charlotte Street, London, W.1.

I'll bet Mark or Steve knows.

Wow! And I missed it. Haven't seen much of the sun this year either.

Anyway, apologies for my brief absence, but you see my computer went
doolalley, so I am now using my back-up system...The Titfield Thunderbolt.

Whoops, steam is still escaping from the processor...best close the regulator
and call for Mr Valentine.

Anyway again.

Part something or other.

Don't put up composer Roy Douglas's circa 1949 address beause he still lives there.

Now there's a thought that would never have occurred to me at least. It's charming to think that someone would still be living at his place for over 55 years, since 1949. In this mobile age, it's rather a comforting thought.

In view of the message from James M., before I list anyone else from 1949, I will first find out
[if possible] if that person is still with us, or not.

No, to me he was always Andy Brock in 49th Parallel (the only time he played a Canadian on screen despite being a Canadian for most of his life) or Abraham Farlan, the stern prosecutor with a heart in A Matter of Life and Death.
