Ralph Lynn as Major Dyke in "For Valour"

In a sense undreamed-of by makers of nursery rhymes, Ralph Lynn's face is his fortune. He has been gifted by Fate with a countenance so naturally comic that in the ordinary course of events he does not need to make up at all. this pictures of him in ordinary life also gives a complete understanding of his stage personality. When occasion serve, however, his use of make-up can be most effective. Here, for instance, we have him as an elderly invalid with all the natural gaiety drained out of him. Who could imagine a better disguise?
