Waller, Lewis (1860–1915)

British actor and theatre manager. He was a romantic costume actor in such plays as Henry Hamilton's The Three Musketeers, Arthur Conan Doyle's Brigadier Gerard, and Booth Tarkington's Monsieur Beaucaire. He was also outstanding in Shakespeare, particularly as Henry V and the Bastard in King John.

The fan club formed in his honour was probably the first of its kind; its members wore buttons inscribed ‘KOW’, meaning ‘Keen on Waller’.
