Wilfrid Lawson (14 January 1900 – 10 October 1966) was an English character actor of stage and screen. He became known for his heavy drinking as well as his many starring roles.



Life and career

Lawson was born at 18 Harris Street, Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. He was educated at Hanson Boys' Grammar School, Bradford, and entered the theatre in his late teens, appearing on both the British and American stage throughout his career.

He made his film debut in East Lynne on the Western Front (1931) and appeared in supporting roles until he took the lead in the 1938 version of The Terror. That same year saw arguably his most celebrated film role as dustman Alfred P. Doolittle in the successful film version of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion opposite Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller.

He also had memorable leading roles in Pastor Hall (1940), as a German village clergyman who denounces the new Nazi regime in 1934; Tower of Terror (1941) as the wild-eyed maniacal lighthouse keeper Wolfe Kristen; and the title role in the prestigious The Great Mr. Handel (1942), a biopic of the 18th-century composer, all three showing his broad range. He also made a number of films in America beginning with Ladies in Love (1936) and including John Ford's The Long Voyage Home (1940) alongside John Wayne.

His last leading role came in 1947 with The Turners of Prospect Road. Because of bouts of alcoholism he became difficult to work with, and throughout the 1950s his roles became increasingly small—even uncredited in some cases. Despite this he still gave memorable performances such as Prince Andrei Bolkonsky's father in King Vidor's War and Peace (1956), Ed in Hell Drivers (1957) and Uncle Nat in Room at the Top (1958), filmed in Lawson's hometown of Bradford.

The 1960s saw something of a career resurgence, beginning with his turn as Black George in Tony Richardson's acclaimed Tom Jones (1963) and culminating in two of his most notable latter day performances: The decrepit butler Peacock in The Wrong Box and the Dormouse in Jonathan Miller's television adaptation of Alice in Wonderland (both 1966). The same year saw his death, in London, from a heart attack.

His brother was the supporting player Gerald Lawson and his nephew, actor Bernard Fox.

Charles "Chic" Sale




Born Charles Partlow Sale, August 25, 1885 Huron, South Dakota U.S.[1]

Died November 7, 1936 (aged 51) Los Angeles, California, U.S.A

Occupation Stage and Screen Actor-Comedian

Charles "Chic" Sale (August 25, 1885 – November 7, 1936) was an American actor and vaudevillian. Named at birth Charles Partlow Sale, he was a son of Frank Orville and Lillie Belle (Partlow) Sale, and brother of writer, actress Virginia Sale-Wren.

Career

In 1920, after a tour wherein he played "rural parts," he was engaged by Christie Studios on Gower Street in Los Angeles. According to Grace Kingsley in the Jan. 28 edition of the Los Angeles Times, page II11, "It now comes to light that Chic Sale, appearing at the Orpheum this week, will as soon as his present tour is finished, about the middle of next month, return to town in the Capacity of a Christie star. Mr. Sale's first photoplay will be a five-reeler, adapted from Irvin S. Cobb's 'The Smart Aleck,' after which he will be starred in other well-known stories suitable to his talents." The item goes on to mention that Charles Christie, business head of the Christie studio, entered into a contract with Exceptional Pictures to produce the Sale film, to be distributed through Robertson-Cole, and notes Sales' occasional appearances in the Ziegfeld Follies and the Shubert Winter Garden shows. The movie was eventually named His Nibs, and co-starred Colleen Moore. Chic played many of the parts himself, the film being a spoof of the sort of the "hick", backwater characterizations that were his specialty.

In 1929, inspired by a carpenter named 'Lem Putt' from his hometown of Urbana, Illinois, Sale wrote The Specialist, a play about an outhouse builder. Because copyright infringement was widespread in Vaudeville, Sale enlisted the aid of two newspapermen to adapt The Specialist into a book. This enjoyed great success, and Sale spent the next several months responding to fan mail.

Sale had a career in Hollywood, appearing in various comic roles until his death from pneumonia in 1936. In contrast to his comic roles, one of his loftier appearances came as President Abraham Lincoln in 1935. The Perfect Tribute was a short film dramatizing Lincoln's disappointment at the meagre reaction to his Gettysburg Address. He encounters a dying and blind soldier who, not knowing he is addressing the President himself, tells Lincoln how inspiring the speech was.

Although an obscure figure today, Sale was a well-known popular culture figure during the 1930s, and was often the subject of jokes by comedians like Groucho Marx, usually in reference to The Specialist. Chic is also mentioned as an aside late in the Marx Brothers film, Animal Crackers, in a conversation between Ravelli (Chico Marx) and Groucho's character, Captain Spaulding). For many years—even after his death—"Chic Sale" was used as a euphemism for an outhouse. He is known to have found this unflattering, calling it "a terrible thing to have happen."

The late comedian Soupy Sales (born Milton Supman) changed his stage name from Soupy Hines to Soupy Sales in honor of Sale.
