Hi can anyone tell me how to find out about a relative that was on the stage and was said to play in every theatre in Britain? His name was Walter George Dunlo Allen and he was part of the Kracy Komics & Crazy Gang which included Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel. He was born in London (Notting Hill) in 1878 and spent his life in theatres as a producer/actor/director and also wrote pantomimes. He had a son born 1913 Walter Thomas Dunlo Allen who appeared with Todd Slaughter in the play Sweeney Todd. Walter senior married my aunt Frederika Evans in 1946 after his first wife died. Freda was only 21, he was 68. I dont know how to access anything about the theatres. I know Walter senior played the lead role in Harlequin at the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane London in the 30's and 40's. can anyone point me in the right direction?
