Arnold Daly

He was noted for introducing the early Shaw plays to American audiences, including Candida, Mrs. Warren's Profession and You Can Never Tell.

[3] Shaw was noted for his extremely detailed stage directions, which some actors found overly prescriptive.

Daly was also in the cast of The Port of Missing Men (1914), Idols (1916), My Own United States (1918), For Another Woman (1924) and In Borrowed Plumes (1926).

[5] On the morning of January 13, 1927, Arnold Daly died after his apartment building in New York City caught fire.

At the time, Daly was recovering from a serious head injury suffered two months earlier, leading to speculation that this may have a played factor in his inability to escape.
