Richard Addinsell (Composer b. 1904), wrote music for many plays and also "The Warsaw Concerto" for the famous film "Dangerous Moonlight" -- Beerbohm's "The Happy Hypocrite" (1897) was first produced by Mrs. Patrick Campbell in 1900, and revived by Clemence Dane in 1936, in a brilliant production by Ivor Novello.
