(stage name of Maxwell Lorimer, 1908–90) Comedian whose lugubrious features, understated manner and impeccable timing brought him early success in variety and pantomime and eventually a high reputation as a straight actor – particularly in the plays of Samuel Beckett, where similar time-honoured techniques are put to good effect.
