Dawson Millward

Dawson Milward was an English actor and playwright, who was sometimes miscredited as "Millward". He began acting as a stage professional in 1894, after several years in amateur productions. He was featured in the original cast for Major Barbara at its premiere in November 1905, and played a supporting role in the year-long run of His House in Order during 1906–1907. He was also in the original cast for The Great Adventure, for which he took part in at least 529 performances during 1913–1914. His first film role came in 1915, and he was still performing on stage in the original production for The Last of Mrs. Cheyney until a month before his sudden death. A tall actor, he was often cast as a senior military officer or titled personage. He wrote at least six one-act plays which were produced on stage, with three also broadcast on early radio.
