"SIR HARRY MACLENNAN LAUDER (1870-), British variety actor, was born at Portobello Aug. 4 1870. He was first a mill-boy in a flax mill at Arbroath, then a coal-miner, and finally took to the variety stage, where he soon became a great favourite on account of his Scotch songs, written and composed by himself on folk-song foundations and sung in character. In this career he earned enormous fees, and made a large fortune. During the World War he worked hard to assist recruiting, and the death in action of his only son in 1918 elicited widespread sympathy. He was knighted in 1919. Early in 1921 he had a season of his own at the Palace theatre, London.
