Claud Allister (born William Claud Michael Palmer, 3 October 1888 – 26 July 1970) was an English actor with an extensive film career in Hollywood, where he appeared in more than 70 films between 1929-1955.[1]
Life
He was born in London. After receiving his education at Felsted School in Essex, he began his career as a stockbroker's clerk in the City of London, but gave up a life in the Square Mile on deciding that he preferred the stage, upon which he made his début in 1910.[citation needed]
Career
He toured England's repertory theatres playing minor parts up to the outbreak of World War I, when he was commissioned into the British Army as a subaltern, and saw active service with the Suffolk Regiment and the Machine Gun Corps[2]
Post-war he returned to acting, and in 1924 went to America to perform on the stage there initially.[3] In 1929 he made his film début in The Trial of Mary Dugan.[4][citation needed]

Allister died 26 July 1970 at Santa Barbara, California, aged 81.[5][3]
