1874–1956
Best remembered for lively British farces, this early-20th-century playwright wrote stage comedies that traveled widely and inspired several film adaptations. His work is brisk, playful, and built around the kind of misunderstandings that keep a comedy humming.

About the author
Walter W. Ellis was a British playwright, born in London in 1874 and remembered especially for comic stage writing. Sources available here identify him as a playwright and place his death in London on January 21, 1956.
His best-known work appears to be A Little Bit of Fluff, a farce that opened in London in 1915 and later became widely available in print and audio editions. Another notable success was Almost a Honeymoon, a 1930 farce that played in London and was adapted for film.
Film and theater records also connect his writing to screen productions including Skirts and Her Last Affaire. A clear, verified portrait image was not confirmed from the sources I could access, so no profile image is included.
