b. Coventry, 1883? – d. Leamington, 1923) British actor. The H.B. Waring listed as having acted in five short films for [[African Film Productions]] is probably English actor Harry B. Waring. There are various references to him appearing in a number of relatively small parts in plays between 1912 and 1915, but in 1916 he turns up in South Africa to act in [[A Story of the Rand]] ([[Lorimer Johnston]]/1916), [[An Artist’s Inspiration]] ([[Harold M.Shaw]]/1916), [[A Kract Affair]] ([[B.F. Clinton]]/1916), [[The Water Cure]] ([[B.F. Clinton]]/1916) and [[The Major’s Dilemma]] ([[Dick Cruikshanks]] & [[Joseph Albrecht]]/1917). To the latter he also contributed the story. In 1919 he was in Singapore with the [[Howitt-Phillips Company]] and the following year ''The New York Clipper'' reports that he is recruiting actors for a repertory company to tour the Far East, including India, China, Japan, the Philippines and Malaya. It’s not known whether the ''H.B. Waring Repertory Company'' made it to all these countries, but in March 1921 ''The Straits Times'' reports that the troupe is about to open at the Victoria Theatre in Singapore in a series of performances. Then, according to ''Variety'' of 1 July 1921 the company is stranded in Java without the means to return home (something denied by the London representative), but in 1922 Waring himself is still in India and appears in ''Laila Majnu'', a silent Indian film directed by ''J.J. Madan''. He was killed in a motor accident in Leamington, near Coventry. (FO)

-When Harry B. Waring (always credited as [[H.B. Waring]]) was interviewed in 1916, he told [[Stage & Cinema]] that he was 26 and that he was born in Lille, but according to the passenger lists through which one can follow some of his travels, he was often careless about giving his correct age.  He was, in fact, born in Southam, near Coventry, one of ten children of Joseph Waring and his wife Harriett Goode.  His father was initially a watch repairman, but later became a school attendance officer.  He also said that he had been educated at Charterhouse, but an obituary mentioned that he had attended Bablake School in Coventry, one of the oldest schools in the United Kingdom.

 At the time of the Census of 1901 he was a clerk in the office of a bicycle company, but in his youth he was already a founding member of the local Dramatic Students Society and was singled out by the Coventry Evening Telegraph as “an actor of great versatility”.  He left Coventry in 1911 to take to the stage professionally. He initially worked with a number of provincial repertory companies, eventually making it to the West End, where he featured in small roles in ''The Winter's Tale'' and ''Twelfth Night'' staged by Harley Granville Barker at the Savoy Theatre in London.  He also acknowledged his debt to Edith Craig, who cast him in ''The Green Cockatoo'' and ''The Street'', both in 1913.
-He first came to South Africa in April 1913 with ''[[Milestones]]'' (the play by Arnold Bennett and Edward Knoblock, which had been written the year before) and reported on the miners’ strike of July that year in a letter to The Midland Daily Telegraph.  He returned to England in November, but was back in South Africa in May the following year with a [[J.C. Williamson]] theatrical company headed by [[Madge Fabian]] and [[Stephen Ewart]].  He acted with them in ''[[Within the Law]]'' and ''[[Madame X]]'' at [[His Majesty’s Theatre]].  However, when in March 1916 the company moved on to Australia, Waring stayed behind.  During this time he acted in five short films for [[African Film Productions]], namely ''[[A Story of the Rand]]'' ([[Lorimer Johnston]]/1916), ''[[An Artist's Inspiration]]'' ([[Lorimer Johnston]]/1916), ''[[A Kract Affair]]'' ([[B.F. Clinton]]/1916), ''[[The Water Cure]]'' ([[B.F. Clinton]]/1916) and ''[[The Major's Dilemma]]'' ([[Dick Cruikshanks]]/1917).  With the latter he also had a hand in the screenplay.  In December of that year he travelled to East Africa to entertain the troops stationed there.

 From there he joined the Howitt-Phillips Company for a tour of the Far East and late in 1919 he returned to England to recruit his own company for an extended engagement.  In April 1920 the H.B. Waring Repertory Company left for India and other countries to play in the theatres owned by J.F. Maddan with a repertoire of some twenty plays. In March 1921 The Straits Times reported that the troupe was about to open at the Victoria Theatre in Singapore, starting with a roster of seven plays in eight days, with Sunday off.  In 1921 Waring himself was still in India and acted in ''Laila Majnu'', a silent film directed by J.J. Madan and starring the Anglo-Indian actress Patience Cooper.  Also in the film was [[Jeannette Sherwin]], who was a member of his touring company and was with him at the [[J.C. Williamson]] company in South Africa.  He arrived back in England in 1922 and the following year became the manager of the Raynor Repertory Company.  He was rehearsing ''Tilly of Bloomsbury'' for the Coventry Dramatic Society when he was killed in a motor accident near Leamington in November 1923.  (FO)
