But that means I got to discover the photo of Colin Clive as Stanhope in the Wikipedia article on the play. And he replaced a very young Olivier who originated the role, and both were under the direction of James Whale!

Yes! And the 1930 film is readily available on the internet, but only in copies that look as though they also went through the wars, and I have been waiting for it to come around on one of the streaming services I have access to and it keeps not and I am going to have to watch it anyway one of these days. I can recommend the play and picturing Clive in it is not difficult at all.
