Bertram Wallis
Bertram Wallis (22 February 1874 – 11 April 1952) was an English actor and singer known for his performances in plays, musical comedies and operettas in the early 20th century, first as leading men and then in character roles. He also later appeared in several film roles.
==Early years==
Wallis was born in London.〔"Academical", ''The Musical Standard'', 6 July 1895, p. 14〕 He was the son of Frederick Augustus Wallis and Sarah Mary (née Williams).〔''Who Was Who in the Theatre: 1912-1976'', vol. 4 Q-Z, p. 2484; compiled from editions originally published annually by John Parker; this 1976 edition by Gale Research〕 A huge man who stood almost 7 feet tall, he won the Westmorland Scholarship to study voice at the Royal Academy of Music,〔"Royal Academy of Music", ''The Musical Times'', August 1895, p.528〕 where he won the Parepa-Rosa gold medal and the Evill Prize.〔"Academical", ''The Musical Standard, 27 July 1895, p. 66〕
After his studies, his first role was Amiens in George Alexander's production of ''As You Like It'' in 1896.〔"As You Like It", ''The Theatre'', 1 January 1897, p. 37〕 Edward German composed the music for the production, and Wallis's performance of his songs won praise: "Mr. Bertram Wallis as Amiens sings his solos so well as to quite justify Jacques's remark, 'More, I pr'y thee, more'."〔"Mr Edward German's Music to ''As You Like It''", ''The Musical Times'', 1 January 1897, p. 26〕 Soon afterwards, he played in ''Much Ado About Nothing'', his last production of a Shakespeare play. In the early years of the 20th century, Wallis had his first successes on the musical stage. He sang in a five-man act called "The Musketeers" music hall at the Tivoli Theatre in 1901.〔''Judy'', 25 April 1901, p. 201〕 In 1902 he appeared in the musical comedy ''Three Little Maids'' at the Apollo Theatre, with Lottie Venne, Sybil Grey and Edna May.〔"Players and Playthings", ''Judy'', 11 June 1902, p. 284〕 In 1904 he appeared with Kate Cutler in ''The Love Birds''.〔"Players and Playthings", ''Judy'', 2 March 1904, p. 729〕 He then travelled to New York City to play in several Broadway productions, including ''A Madcap Princess'' (1904), ''Princess Beggar'' (1907) and ''Miss Hook of Holland'' (1907–08), with Christie MacDonald.
After this, Wallis starred in a series of successful London musicals, often with Isabel Jay or Jose Collins, including ''King of Cadonia'' (1908), ''Dear Little Denmark'' (1909)〔"Casts of New Plays and Important Revivals", ''Era Almanack'', January 1910, p.126〕 and ''The Balkan Princess'' (1910). ''Playgoer'' magazine commented, "What a ... fine specimen of mankind is the Grand Duke Sergius as played by Mr. Bertram Wallis!"〔"The Balkan Princess", ''Playgoer and Society Illustrated'', March 1910, p. 236〕 He next starred in ''The Count of Luxembourg'' (1911). In 1911, Wallis temporarily left the musical stage to appear in a non-musical melodrama, ''Beau Brocade'' at the Globe Theatre, for which he won good notices.〔Parker, Oscar, "The London Stage", ''English Illustrated Magazine'', February 1911, p. 475; and "The Theatre", ''Academy and Literature'', 4 February 1911, p. 138〕
