Biography

George Ridgwell was born in Woolwich in 1867.[1] He directed around 70 films including a series of adaptations of Sherlock Holmes stories featuring Eille Norwood as Holmes. His last film was Lily of Killarney in 1929. He was the father of the actress Audrey Ridgewell.

His early career was as an army musician (sergeant, band of the Coldstream Guards) and on the stage (he created the role of Abdallah in Sullivan's Rose of Persia and was a member of the D'Oyly Carte Touring Opera Company for a season, playing lead baritone roles).[2] He also composed light music numbers and lyrics. He was educated at the Royal Military Asylum, later the Duke of York's Royal Military School.[3]

He died from a heart attack in Hampstead on 2 April 1935.[1][4]
