  Ronald Gow Is Dead; English Playwright, 95 - New York Times
Ronald Gow, an English playwright known for his adaptations of novels, died on Tuesday in London, his family announced last week.
Gow's first hit was his play "Love on the Dole," which he adapted from a novel by Walter Greenwood about a woman's travails in the Depression.
Gow's death, The Daily Telegraph of London said on Friday that admirers "appreciated Gow's skill in filleting novels and giving a fluent narrative to otherwise lumpen stories." His plays that were not based on novels did not fare as well with critics and audiences.

 Arts | Dame Wendy Hiller
In 1937, the actor in fact married her author, Ronald Gow, and her film triumph as Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion (1938) came after playing both that role and Saint Joan at the Malvern festival for Bernard Shaw in 1936.
Again, the adaptation was by Ronald Gow, and to my mind it was her finest stage performance.

 DAME WENDY HILLER DIES AT 90 @moviebus news
