Walls, Tom (1883–1949), English actor, director, and theatre manager. He first appeared on the stage in Glasgow in 1905, and subsequently toured in the United States and Canada, returning to London in 1907. He had a successful career in musical comedy, and in 1922 went into management, his first venture being the immensely successful
Tons of Money, a farce by Will
Evans which when transferred to the
Aldwych inaugurated the long succession of ‘Aldwych farces’ by Ben
Travers. Walls appeared in all of them, up to and including
Turkey Time in 1931, playing the flashy opportunist. He then went into films, but reappeared on the stage in 1938, continuing his successful career in light comedy and farce. He was for a time manager of the
Fortune Theatre, opening with
Lonsdale's On Approval (1927), which he directed himself. He controlled a number of touring companies in the 1930s, and in 1939 took over the Alexandra in Stoke Newington, which he ran as a repertory theatre.
