W.C. Fields

The skits and persona of Harry Tate were a big influence on W. C. Fields when he was making the transition from silent juggler to talking comedian. Reviews of Field's first appearance in the Zigfield Follies in the 20's remark on this. M B-G 203.171.196.65 (talk) 09:57, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photograph (1909)

A photograph captioned "'Facing' the audience: Mr. Harry tate as Abanaza rin "Aladdin", at the Royal Theatre, Newcastle" occurs in "Heard in the Green Room". The Sketch. 61: 88. 27 January 1909. --Kiyoweap (talk) 04:20, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question

My grandmother used to refer to the place she lived, a particularly dark and labyrinthine apartment block as "Harry Tate flats". Does anyone have any idea what this is a reference to? She lived there from the 1940s to the 1960s, in Cardiff.

How’s your father?

He used this phrase as sexual innuendo, and it passed into popular usage. Llajwa (talk) 19:14, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
