Career

Howarth toured the country in theatre performances where he met and married his wife Betty in Hull in July 1929. He made over a hundred television appearances in all after 1947, having run a theatre in Wales from 1935 onwards. He also appeared in a number of films including The Man in the White Suit (1951) and Hobson's Choice (1954).
