Lupino Lane (16 June 1892 – 10 November 1959) was an English actor and theatre manager, and a member of the famous Lupino family. Lane started out as a child performer, known as 'Little Nipper', and went on to appear in a wide range of theatrical, music hall and film performances. He is best known for playing Bill Snibson in the play and film Me and My Girl, which popularised The Lambeth Walk.
Early life and career

He adopted the surname Lane from his great-aunt Sarah Lane (1822–1899, née Borrow), the director of the Britannia Theatre, Hoxton. Lane married actress Violet Blythe on 10 February 1917, and their son was the actor Lauri Lupino Lane (1921–86). Lane's brother was the actor Wallace Lupino, and his nephew, Wallace's son, was another actor, Richard Lupino. Lane's niece, Ida Lupino, the daughter of actors Stanley Lupino and Connie Emerald (1892–1959), was the most famous member of this acting family.

Beatrice Lillie And Lupino Lane (1934)
Titles read: "Now Andre Charlot presents - A topical glance at Beatrice Lillie and Lupino Lane (filmed at the Savoy Theatre, London)".
London.
M/S of Andre Charlot (?) coming out from behind the theatre curtain of the Savoy Theatre. He introduces Lupino Lane and Beatrice Lillie as Napoleon and Josephine in a sketch from the revue 'Please', currently showing at the theatre.
Various shots of Beatrice and Lupino going through the sketch, where Napoleon asks Josephine to write to the senate, giving up her throne. The words are serious, but the pair do a lot of slapstick business as they speak - it's very funny. At the end of the scene Josephine instructs Napoleon to come to her apartment as usual; he answers "Not tonight, Josephine" and she throws a custard pie in his face!

Lupino’s own breakthrough came after seven years in Hollywood and a lifetime in showbusiness ... Her mother was an actor, her father was the music-hall comic Stanley Lupino and her cousin was the entertainer Lupino Lane.
The Lupinos Family could feel the storm approaching their home. "The power went out," said Bill Lupinos of the evening of Sunday, June 25, 2023 ... "We decided to take a ride up to the front," Lupinos said ... "This was massive destruction," Lupinos said.
