Who was Sydney Howard?

Sydney Howard was an English stage comedian and film actor born in Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire.

Already a major stage star, Howard made his feature film début in Jack Raymond's Splinters, and went on appearing in unique roles in films such as French Leave, Up for the Cup and Mayor's Nest. Despite his popularity in the 1920s and 1930s films he appeared in, Howard is almost totally forgotten today. His most revived film is When We Are Married, in which he played a drunken photographer.

In 1937 British exhibitors voted him the 10th most popular British star at the box office.
