George Marlow

[9] He was playing with the William Anderson organisation[9] in Sydney[10] and Brisbane[11] in 1899 as was Ethel Buckley (born c. 1885), whom he married around 1901.

[12] Ethel had made a mark as "Puck" in a George Rignold production of Midsummer Night's Dream at the age of twelve, a role she reprised several times, then melodramas such as The Luck of Roaring Camp in 1907.

[16] The Bad Girl of the Family was his first production in the new theatre, followed by the George Fowler musical The Fatal Wedding[17] and the melodrama The Rosary.

Willoughby, with Arthur Bernard Davies and George T. Eaton bought him out in 1913, reportedly for £50,000,[9] but had problems with Marlow's continuing involvement.

[25] Although he claimed not to be interested in producing "classics",[26] he managed the Grand Shakespearean Company from 1916–1920 at the Princess, with such hits as The Merchant of Venice starring Allan Wilkie.

He produced a Christmas pantomime Beauty and the Beast around 1930 at the Grand Opera House with songs by the great cricketer Don Bradman and Jack Lumsdaine,[29] Billy Moll, Harry Richman and Murray Mencher.

[30] He was a longtime racing enthusiast, owning horses including Trinobantes, Somnolent, Halifax and Georgio, and was for a time on the Tattersall's Club committee.
