Autographs of Arthur Lucan

Arthur Lucan (born Arthur Towle; 16 September 1885 – 17 May 1954) was an English actor who performed as Old Mother Riley on stage, screen, and radio, including a series of comedy films from the 1930s into the 1950s.
Lucan was born on 16 September 1885 in Sibsey, Lincolnshire, as Arthur Towle, the third of seven children born to Tom Towle, a groom, and his wife, Lucy Ann Mawer. When he was five years old, the family moved to nearby Boston, Lincolnshire, where Arthur later made his first acting appearance at the town's Shodfriars Hall. After leaving school, he left home to pursue a career in music hall. He gained a job with a family troupe called the Musical Cliftons, and later as sidekick to a comedian called Will Pepper.
Lucan was appearing in Dublin when he met and married 16-year-old Kitty McShane in 1913. The couple had a son, Donald Daniel Towle (2 October 1915, Dublin  – 10 February 1975, Par, Cornwall). They became a successful double act, achieving some success with a sketch called "Bridget's Night Out" in which Lucan worked in drag for the first time, and began to develop the character of Old Mother Riley. Whilst in Dublin, he changed his name to Lucan, and they performed as 'Lucan and McShane'. The act was featured in the 1934 Royal Command Performance at the London Palladium.
