Wiki says, "reprising his 1936 stage role of the chief engineer in Bees on the Boatdeck" by J. B. Priestley.
He played Mercutio on Broadway to Katharine Cornell's Juliet in 1935.
Wiki: "Over four great seasons [1944-1947] at the New Theatre with Olivier, Dame Sybil Thorndike, and Margaret Leighton, he played not only the definitive Falstaff and Peer Gynt of the century but also the title role in Priestley's An Inspector Calls, Cyrano de Bergerac, Face in The Alchemist, Bluntschli in Arms and the Man, and John of Gaunt in Richard II, which he unusually also directed."
He was a terrible Macbeth.
And (I should think) a fabulous Mr. Darling/Captain Hook.
His first wife, Muriel Hewitt, poor thing, died of sleeping sickness caught on a tour of South Africa in 1929.
