The Times, Thursday, Aug 2, 1917               OBITUARIES

Mr. FRANK RICHARDSON   Mr. Frank Collins Richardson, barrister, and novelist, was found dead in his chambers in Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, yesterday.   An inquest will be held.   He was born in 1870, and was educated at Marlborough and Christ Church, Oxford, afterwards entering the Inner Temple and being called to the Bar.   But there, as he admitted, he was a failure, and he took in consequence to writing, his "King's Counsel," a novel, appearing in 1902.

It was followed by some dozen others.   His peculiar topic of humour was the subject of whiskers, which he discovered by accident, and perhaps worked for rather more than it was worth.   But his treatment of it was hailed at the time as an amusing innovation, and by pen and pencil, and by judging at seaside male "beauty-shows," it cannot be said that he was wholly unsuccessful in his peculiar hobby.
