Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Hugo Cecil Levinge Rumbold was a British theatrical scenery and costume designer. Rumbold was the son of Sir Horace Rumbold, eighth baronet of Woodhall, and his second wife, Louisa Anne, daughter of Thomas Russell Crampton. His elder half-brother was the diplomat Sir Horace Rumbold, 9th Baronet of Woodhall. Rumbold went to Eton College in 1897. He served in World War I in the Grenadier Guards, when he was wounded and received the Order of the Crown. In civilian life, he was sometimes referred to by his military title of Captain H.C.L. Rumbold. As a stage designer, Rumbold's early work included Pre-Raphaelite sets and costumes for Faversham's Romeo and Juliet in 1913; The Right to Kill a melodrama set in Turkey staged by Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree at His Majesty's Theatre; and Charles Villiers Stanford's opera The Critic at the Shaftesbury Theatre in 1916, of which The Times said, Mr Hugo Rumbold apparently carries the 18th century atmosphere about in his pocket.
