Frankland Grey
Actor
Frankland Grey was active on the stage in the 1920s, with pantomime appearances including Robin Hood in Edinburgh.
His roles included Odo Philpotts, and his performances attracted praise for “brilliant gagging” and the “vitality and gaiety” of his songs and patter. These descriptions suggest a performer whose humour depended on both words and delivery.
