• Frank_Clewlow abstract "Frank Dawson Clewlow (October - December 1885 – 13 June 1957 Hobart, Tasmania) was an English actor-director who in 1936 became Federal Controller of Productions for the Australian Broadcasting Commission.He was born in Stone, Staffordshire, England, to Joseph Clewlow (born 1858 Stafford, Staffordshire) and his wife Mary Jane Dawson (born 1857 in Luton, Bedfordshire) whom he married on 29 December 1884 at St Mary, Luton. Frank had two younger siblings Hilda Dorothy Clewlow (born 1891 in Stone) and Harry Dawson Clewlow (born 1898 in Stone) He went to Alleyne's Grammar School then studied maths, physics, chemistry, zoology and botany at the University of Birmingham, but became involved with the Pilgrim Players and, under the influence of Barry Jackson and John Drinkwater, never completed the course. He borrowed £4 and ran away from home as he couldn't take his University exams due to working on the play there. He joined a repertory company in Ilkeston, Derbyshire.He worked for two years as leading actor and stage manager under the name "Stafford Dawson" in 1909 for Annie Horniman at the Manchester Gaiety Theatre, Manchester., then toured with Allan Wilkie (father of Douglas Wilkie) to the Far East in 1911.On his return, he was appointed by (later Sir) Barry Jackson as actor-producer with his newly formed Birmingham Repertory Company (1913–1918) where he appeared inHenry IV Part 1 11 October 1913Cap and Bells 25 October 1913The Critic 1 November 1913Christmas Nativity Plays 20 December 1913The Critic 26 December 1913As you like it 7 January 1914Christmas Party 10 January 1914Candida 24 February 1914She stoops to conquer 18 March 1914Mock Doctor 28 March 1914Twelfth Night 20 April 1914As you like it 23 April 1914Rebellion 2 May 1914Cap and Bells 23 May 1914The Critic 30 May 1914His Excellency the Governor 13 June 1914Eldest Son 29 August 1914End of the World 12 September 1914Cupid and the Styx 19 September 1914David Ballard 19 October 1914New Ways to Pay Old Debts 24 October 1914The Wild Duck 21 November 1914The Second Mrs Banks 24 November 1914Cupid and the Styx 28 November 1914Strife 5 December 1914She stoops to conquer 26 December 1914Silver Box 13 February 1915Tempest 17 April 1915Return of the Prodigal 15 May 1915Liars 22 May 1915The Rivals 4 September 1915Keepers of the Garden 9 September 1915Candida 23 October 1915His Majesty's Pleasure 30 October 1915Faithful 4 December 1915Twelfth Night 11 March 1916Alchemist 8 April 1916Twelfth Night 22 April 1916The Tempest 22 April 1916Merry Wives of Windsor 24 April 1916Macbeth 29 April 1916The Merchant of Venice 3 May 1916As You Like It 15 May 1916David Ballard 17 May 1916Merry Wives of Windsor 21 June 1916Good Natured Man 16 September 1916Cupid and the Styx 30 September 1916Sweeps of '98 7 October 1916God of Quiet 7 October 1916Silver Box 14 October 1916Misfortune of Being Clever 21 October 1916First Distiller 26 October 1916Farmers Wife 11 November 1916Puss in Boots 26 December 1916Critic 20 January 1917Tragedy of Nan 24 February 1917Cupid and the Styx 3 March 1917While Rome Burns 10 March 1917Education of Mr Surrage 19 March 1917Merry Wives of Windsor 7 April 1917Augustus in Search of a Wife 14 April 1917Twelfth Night 23 April 1917Two Gentlemen of Verona 28 April 1917Change 8 September 1917Over a Wall 20 October 1917Cophetua 27 October 1917Tragedy of Nan 3 November 1917Trelawny of the Wells 10 November 1917Corsican Brothers 24 November 1917Just to Get Married 23 February 1918St George and the Dragon 30 March 1918Measure for Measure 23 April 1918Twelfth Night 2 May 1918Silver Box 18 May 1918Cupid and the Styx 25 May 1918Taming of the Shrew 15 June 1918He played with Ian McLaren's company as Touchstone and Sir Andrew Aguecheek, In November 1921 he met Herbert Pochin and Walter Martin in a cafe to discuss setting up the Leicester Drama Society. The inaugural meeting took place on 25 January 1922 at Council Room at the Chamber of Commerce where he was appointed Honorary Secretary. Following this on 11 April 1922 a public meeting was held at the Association Hall in Leicester where Frank persuaded Lena Ashwell to form a Leicester branch of the British Drama Society and directed it for three years. Of the three founding members Frank Clewlow was the only one with acting experience. Whilst there he producedThe Silver Box 12 June 1922The Cobblers Shop 1922The Fantasticks 1922Othello 1923 (and played the part of the Moor)Strife 1923The Cassils Engagement 1923An Enemy of the People 1923The Merry Wives of Windsor 1924He worked as producer for Scottish National Theatre Society (1922-1947) at The Athenaeum Theatre in Glasgow and the Museum Hall in Bridge of Allan for two years where he directedThomas the Rhymer 2 December 1924The Two Shepherds 2 December 1924The Lifting 1 February 1925The Guinea's Stamp 13 February 1925Mary Stuart 24 March 1925The Dark Lady 25 March 1925James the First of Scotland 11 May 1925The Inn of Adventure 13 October 1925Punch Counts Ten 22 December 1925Souterness 19 January 1926The House of the Queen 19 January 1926Gregarach 23 March 1926The Fantasticks 23 March 1926, and as stage manager for Royal Carl Rosa Opera Company.He was brought out to Australia in 1926 by Wilkie, as actor and stage director. He married Minnie Suckling, an actress with the same troupe (having previously married Gertrude Mary T Littlewood between April and June 1910 in St John Baptist, Hulme, Manchester, Lancashire, England).He played Henry VIII, Mercutio and Lafeu at the Theatre Royal, Hobart and Henry VIII at the Otago Theatre, Dunedin, New Zealand.It was during this time he met a young actor Catherine Duncan with whom he was to have a professional association several years later.He was appointed director of the Melbourne Repertory Theatre Society, succeeding Gregan McMahon in 1928., amongst other plays directed The Touch of Silk (by Australian playwright Betty Roland) in November of that year. Angel Symon, who had also toured with Wilkie and assembled an important collection of stage ephemera now held at the University of Adelaide, was his secretary. The Repertory Theatre disbanded around 1930 after encountering financial difficulties.Clearly a man of huge enthusiasms, newspaper cuttings of this time show him appearing in public almost every week, whether conducting poetry recitals, lectures on German theatre, on poetry, judging at eisteddfods and elocution competitions, even opening an art exhibition in 1930. He contributed an article The Future of the Theatre for July 1931 Stream leftist literary journal that included an article by Nettie Palmer.He was responsible for the stage debut of Coral Browne in the George Bernard Shaw play You Never Can Tell at the Garrick Theatre in 1930.Around 1930 he organised a series of "great plays" for 3LO, a new member station of the Australian Broadcasting Commission, which led to his appointment in 1931 as Director of Drama for that station. He assembled a strong group of radio actors to perform several great plays every week. A similar group was assembled by his counterpart in Sydney, Laurence Halbert, and the two stations exchanged programs by landline and transcription disc.In 1938 he was moved to Sydney to become National Director of Productions for the ABC by (later Sir) Charles Moses, who was developing the Commission into a more centralised network. It is difficult now to appreciate what a powerful position this was, but in the decades before television radio drama was the chief form of entertainment for most Australians and the major radio networks provided the chief source of employment for many hundreds of actors (and a springboard to a movie career for many such as Peter Finch) and the drama heads of radio stations and production houses such as Grace Gibson and Hector Crawford could make or break an actor and the success or otherwise of a production could make or break a program.As guest adjudicator for a Melbourne elocution competition in 1934, he was impressed with Ida Elizabeth Osbourne and found parts for her in radio productions. So when he was authorised by ABC head Charles Moses to create a national children's radio program, he called on her to develop it. This became the highly influential Children's Session and Argonauts Club.He commissioned Edmund Barclay to write the series As Ye Sow which ran for most of 1937.In 1939 he cast the (then) unknown Nigel Lovell in a radio adaptation of The Wild Ass's Skin by Balzac, then as Romeo in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.Later that same year he placed Peter Finch on contract.He produced one of the most famous Australian radio plays, The Fire on the Snow by Douglas Stewart, first performed by the ABC on 6 June 1941 with Ida Elizabeth Osbourne as Narrator.In 1943 he commissioned Gwen Meredith to write a radio serial to be a feature of the Country Hour, with the remit of providing agricultural information along with entertainment, expressly to consult with the NSW Agricultural Department and the ABC Rural Department. That program The Lawsons ran from 1944 to 1949 then morphed into the historic Blue Hills which ran until 1976.He appointed Catherine Duncan to write for radio after judging her entry The Sword Sung in a Sydney New Theatre competition.But rivals and opponents such as Leslie Rees and Lawrence H Cecil were developing influence within the organization. His insistence on "high standards" could easily be interpreted as reactionary, and his acid tongue made enemies of people who disagreed with him. In 1950 he was excised from his position and (quite unwillingly) transferred to Hobart to produce plays there.".
