Jonas Alfred Lipman (25 April 1877 – ), frequently referred to as "Alf" or "Alfred", was an actor, producer and director of theatre and film of Melbourne, Australia.

He was described as "a colourful extrovert" with "a flair for the wheeling and dealing of the film trade".[1]

History

Lipman was born in South Australia,[2] the eldest son of Mrs Isaac Lipman (née Elizabeth Griffiths Seedle)[3] at her home, 33 Hindley Street, Adelaide.[4]

He was educated at Prince Alfred College.

As a youung man, Lipman was active in Jewish artistic circles, performing in and directing plays.[5]

He left Adelaide in March or April 1903[6] for Western Australia, initially for a matter of months, then more permanently,[7] to manage his father's business interests in Coolgardie. In that prosperous gold-mining town Lipman was active in theatre, partly in connection with the local branch of the Australian Natives' Association.[8]

His father, Isaac, was licensee of the Cremorne Hotel and Theatre in Coolgardie.[9] The most prominent businessman in the town, and perhaps the wealthiest was Isaac's brother Judah Lipman ( – 7 July 1911),[10] owner of the Cremorne, the Grand Hotel, the Brewery and much else beside. Their youngest brother Abraham, also known as Alfred, managed the Halfway House, then the Grand Hotel for brother Judah, died of pneumonia at Coolgardie in 1897.[11] These three were sons of Jonas Lipman (c. 1835 – 21 January 1880)[12] and Hannah Lipman of Port Adelaide.

Lipman left Western Australia in July 1905, announcing his intention of joining a troupe touring India.[13]

By 1909 he had returned to Adelaide, where he was involved as actor and director with an amateur theatre group, The Actors' Club. A noted performance was One Summers Day (Henry V. Esmond) held at the Unley Town Hall in July 1910 in aid of the St Paul's choir fund.[14] This was followed in September by The Dilemma at the same venue. Following these two successes, The Players staged Charley's Aunt over two nights at the Theatre Royal in December and revived in June 1911 at the Unley Town Hall. In each of these Lipman was both stage director and leading man to packed houses and critical acclaim.

By 1914 he had moved to Victoria, working as stage manager and director for the Comedy Theatre at the refurbished Daylight Pictures Co. building on the Lower Esplanade, St Kilda, adjacent the Palais de Danse.[15][16] The first productions, changed weekly, were: The New Baby (Arthur Bourchier); Our Girls (H. J. Byron) and The Three Hats (aka Three Hats Slightly Mixed and similar), an adaptation of a farce by Alfred Hennequin. The Comedy Theatre, a summer favorite, did not survive beyond March 1915. In 1916 and 1917 Lipman made several buying trips to the United States, and reported on the rise of Broadway.[17]

He wrote Just Peggy while in the USA. signed the lead actress, Sara Allgood, having seen her perform on stage in J. Hartley Manners' comedy Peg o' My Heart,[18] and filmed it in Sydney.[19]

His best known film is probably Mystery Island (1937).[20]

Some of his stage and film work is credited to his pseudonym, Rigby C. Tearle.

Lipman was head of several Australian motion picture distribution and exhibition companies, particularly of British films, from the late 1910s to the early 1930s. In 1918 as head of Quality Features he picked up a film Damaged Goods[21] on the theme of venereal disease.

In 1920, when it was playing at the Princess Theatre, Melbourne, he was fined for showing the movie, judged as obscene.[22] The same year he helped established the company United Shows Inc.[23] Three years later he helped set up the Australian Releasing Corporation.[24] and Australasian Films Ltd. He also represented British International Pictures Ltd from around 1929.

In 1934 he was replaced as Australian distributor for British International Pictures by Gordon Williams, whose wife, the former Miss Dorothy Sykes, was born in Melbourne.[25]

No information has been found on his later activities, and the date and manner of his death is a mystery. It is possible he married Jeannette Harris at Coolgardie on 11 November 1899, though his name was misreported in the newspaper.[26] More information is needed.

Some references give the date and place of his death as 18 November 1941 in Perth, Western Australia. The Jonas Alfred Lipman buried at the Karrakatta cemetery aged 66 years,[27] referred to was a longtime employee of Nestlé,[28] and may be unrelated.
