![]() ![]() Carl Hentschel, rechristened William Samuel Harris by Jerome, was born in Lodz, Russian Poland, in March 1864, arriving in England with his parents at the age of five. George, who remained a bachelor, rose to become manager of Barclays Bank in the Strand and outlived the other two, dying at the age of 79 in March 1941. They ‘chummed’ together for some years – both shared a love of the theatre -and a life-long friendship was formed. The landlady suggested that, to save money, the two might share a room. George was a bank clerk (who ‘goes to sleep at a bank from ten to four each day, except Saturdays, when they wake him up and put him outside at two’) and was living in a back room of the same house. Jerome was acting as a clerk to a firm of solicitors and lodging just off London’s Tottenham Court Road when Wingrave entered his life. ![]() ![]() The original ‘Three Men’ – from left to right Carl Hentschel (Harris), Newspaper and periodical contributions by Jerome – correspondence.A Comment on Bicycles and Cycling Posters in the Nineties The Street of the Blank Wall and Other Stories An Idle Fancy in a Prologue, a Play and an Epilogue The Passing of the Third Floor Back and Other Stories ![]() Three Men in a Boat (to Say Nothing of the Dog) Playwriting: a Handbook for Would-be Dramatic Authors On the Stage – and Off: the Brief Career of a Would-be Actor Playwriting – A Handbook for Would-Be Dramatic Authors. ![]()
