Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox person Alan Dale (May 14, 1861 - May 21, 1928)[1][2] was an influential British theatre critic, playwright and book author of the late Victorian and early 20th Century eras. He was born Alfred J. Cohen in Birmingham England. He arrived in New York in 1887 and became a drama critic for several New York papers i.e., New York Evening World, New York Journal and the New York American. His reviews of plays were often negative but helped sell a lot of William Randolph Hearst's newspapers. The theatre world despised Dale for his acid reviews.[3]

His spouse was Carrie L. Frost and they had at least one child Margaret (or Marjorie).[2]

Dale died aboard train while traveling from Plymouth to Birmingham. He had undergone several operations previously after health problems.[2]
