Henry Moncrieff Tennent (18 February 1879 โ€“ 10 June 1941),

Howard & Wyndham founded in Glasgow [2] in 1895 and headquartered in Edinburgh.[3]

Their first production at the Queen's Theatre in 1936 was a failure, but later that year they formalised their partnership as the production company 'H. M. Tennent Ltd', with offices on the top floor of the Globe Theatre (now the Gielgud), and went on to great success. On Tennent's death of a heart attack in 1941, Beaumont found he was unmentioned in Tennent's will, but nevertheless took over as managing director of the company.
