Shaun Glenville (born John Browne; 16 May 1884 – 28 December 1968) was an Irish actor who specialised in pantomime performances; he would play the dame while his wife Dorothy Ward would play the principal boy.[1][2] The music hall historian Christopher Pulling called him one of the 'grand comedians of the music-halls'.[3] He had a successful 62-year career and played in over 40 pantomimes.
