Herbert Sparling

Herbert Sparling (1864–1944) was a British comedy and musical theatre actor and director.

When asked for the second payment Sparling made various excuses and quit his lodgings on The Strand.

[16] In July 1911 Sparling accompanied Marie George in a performance at Brighton Palace Pier, where: Marie George gives the audience twenty minutes of sparkling fun, and makes them regret very much the powers that be which prevent her continuing her part for double that period.

She is most ably assisted by Mr. Herbert Sparling, whose make-up as a pianoforte turner and acting throughout is wonderfully clever.

[12][21][22] In his later years he lived at 25 Portland Place in Brighton, Sussex, where he died in 1944 aged 80.
