Tiger Lyons - Silent Comedy

[iwccc]

 I am trying to find an entertainer. called Tiger Lyons - He appears to have worked in Silent Comedy and wore a clown face mask.  I have a photo.  I believe he entertained the First World War Navy men - my grandfather got a photo of him whilst he was in the Navy.  Not sure where Tiger was from. Any help would. be much appreciated.
