Harry Tate
Ronald Macdonald Hutchinson (4 July 1872 - 14 February 1940), professionally known as Harry Tate, was an English comedian who performed both in the music halls and in films. Tate worked for Henry Tate & Sons, Sugar Refiners before going on the stage, and took his stage name from them.〔(Music Hall history ) accessed 11 Feb 2007〕
==Career==
Tate made his debut at the Oxford Music Hall in 1895, and became well known for his impressions of performers such as Dan Leno, George Robey, and Eugene Stratton. Success came with his comedy sketch, ''(Motoring )'', in which he played the part of a new car owner trying to repair it. His other sketches included ''Running an Office'', ''Billiards'' and ''Fishing''. Several catch phrases he used became popular in Britain in the twentieth century, including "Goodbye-eee", "How's your Father" (used as an escape clause when he was unable to answer a question) and "I don't think", used sarcastically (as in "He's a nice chap – I don't think").〔(Harry Tate entry at Music Hall Performers website )〕 He used his bristling moustache to express all kinds of emotion by twitching or moving it.
In February 1940 Tate suffered a stroke and died, aged 67, shortly after; while in bed between the two events he told reporters that he had been injured during an air raid, and because they failed to realise that he was joking this is often given as the cause of his death. He is buried at St Mary's, Northolt. For a time, his son Ronnie continued the act as ''Harry Tate junior''.〔(Harry Tate (at British Library) ) accessed 11 Feb 2007〕
