"CHARLES HADDON CHAMBERS (1860-1921), British playwright, was born of Irish parents at Stanmore, near Sydney, N.S.W., April 22 1860. As a boy of 15 he entered the N.S.W. civil service, but two years later sought a more adventurous life as a stock-rider in the Australian bush. In 1880 he first visited England, and two years later established himself there as a journalist, writer of stories, and finally as a playwright. Amongst his most successful plays ( see 8.534, 53 6) may be mentioned Captain Swift (1888); The Idler (1890); John-a-Dreams (1894); The Tyranny of Tears (1899); The Awakening (1901) and Passers-By (1911). He died in London March 28 1921.
