<The Times, November 20, 1966>

<MR ARTHUR HAYNES: DROLL TELEVISION COMEDIAN>

Mr. Arthur Haynes, who died on Saturday at the age of 52, was a

comedian whose success was due rather to the native drollery of his

personality than to the undoubted skill with which he worked. The son

of a baker, he had been a bus conductor and was a railway man when he

first began to appear in public, earning 1s. 3d. a song as a public

house entertainer. From public house singing he graduated into a Forces

entertainer and later joined the team with which Mr. Charlie Chester

was presenting his radio show, Stand Easy .

The public first seemed to notice something novel in Arthur Haynes's

style when, 10 years ago, he was appearing on television in Strike a

New Note , and by 1960 he had succeeded to the point at which, in

offerng a three-year contract for 75,000, Associated Television made

him one of the most highly paid of British artists.

In 1961 he won the Variety Club of Great Britain award and was elected

Television Personality of the Year. He played at the London Palladium

for the first time in 1963, in Swing Along , a sucess interrupted by

illness, and in 1964 he went to Hollywood to play against Miss Gina

Lollobrigida - possibly the most improbable of partnerships in Strange

Bedfellows . His extremely English style was as successful on American

television, in The Ed Sllivan Show, as it was in England, where he had

recently completed his first major film role in Doctor in Clover .

With a new series of television shows due soon to be seen, he was

playing in cabaret at the Grosvenor Hotel up to the time of his sudden

death.

Arthur Haynes appealed to the anarchist hidden inside all respectable

members of society, to whom, perhaps, his activities offered a safety

valve. His bemedalled tramp, Oscar Pennyfeather convinced the world tat

this tramp's life, his ribald rejection of convention, his total lack

of respect for the authorities he arrogantly dismissed, was normality.

It was the hard-working conventional everyman who seemed suddenly to

become ridiculously abnormal.
