A Little Bit of Fluff: A Farce in Three Acts
by Walter Ellis
About the author
Walter Ellis was a British writer and playwright, born in London in 1874 and died there on January 21, 1956. Sources available here identify him chiefly as a comedy dramatist whose plays were produced from the 1910s into the 1940s.
He is especially associated with farces including A Little Bit of Fluff, Almost a Honeymoon, and S.O.S. His stage work proved popular enough to inspire multiple film versions, including Skirts and Her Last Affaire, which helped carry his witty, misunderstanding-filled plots beyond the theater.
Some biographical details remain lightly documented in the sources I found, but the overall picture is clear: Ellis was a dependable maker of brisk, commercial stage comedy whose stories entertained audiences for decades.
