==Early life==
Rains was born in Camberwell, London. According to his daughter, he grew up with "a very serious Cockney accent and a speech impediment".〔Harmetz p. 147.〕 His parents were Emily Eliza (née Cox) and the actor Frederick William Rains.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=International Stars at War )〕 Rains made his stage debut at the age of 11 in the play ''Nell of Old Drury''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=meredy.com )〕
His acting talents were recognised by Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, the founder of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Tree paid for the elocution lessons that Rains needed to succeed as an actor. Later, Rains taught at RADA, where his students included John Gielgud and Laurence Olivier. Many years later, after Rains had gone to Hollywood and become a well-known film actor, Gielgud commented: "He was a great influence on me. I don't know what happened to him. I think he failed and went to America."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Gielgud - Quotes - IMDb )〕
Rains served in the First World War in the London Scottish Regiment,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Welcome to The London Scottish Regiment Website )〕 alongside fellow actors Basil Rathbone, Ronald Colman and Herbert Marshall. At one time, he was involved in a gas attack that left him nearly blind in one eye for the rest of his life.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Remembering Claude Rains )〕 By the end of the war, he had risen from the rank of Private to that of Captain.
