  • Harry Relph (21 de juliol de 1867 – 10 de febrer de 1928), professionalment conegut com a Little Tich, va ser un còmic i ballarí anglès de 1,37 m (137 cm) durant finals del segle xix i principis del XX. Va ser conegut pel seu acrobàtic i còmic ball "Big-Boot", el qual va actuar a Europa i pel qual portava botes de soles de 71 cm. A part de les aparicions al music hall, també va ser un conegut intèrpret a les pantomimes de Nadal, i apareixia en aquestes anualment en teatres de diferents províncies angleses. Va repetir el seu èxit a Londres, on va aparèixer en tres pantomimes al Theatre Royal, Drury Lane entre 1891 i 1893 amb Dan Leno i Marie Lloyd. Nascut a Cudham, Kent, Little Tich va començar a actuar amb deu anys quan va desenvolupar un ball i una actuació amb "tin-whistle" que va mostrar a cases públiques a Sevenoaks. A inicis dels 1880s va formar un acte blackface i va guanyar popularitat amb actuacions al proper Rosherville Jardins de Plaer i la sala de Música de Barnard a Chatham. Va viatjar a Londres i va aparèixer a la sala de música "Forester's Music Hall" el 1884. Més tard aquell any, va adoptar el nom artístic "Little Tich", el qual va basar en el seu renom d'infantesa de "Tichborne", que va adquirir a conseqüència de la seva poca estatura i aparença física semblant a Tichborne Claimant Arthur Orton. Els termes "titchy" o "titch" es van derivar més tard de "Little Tich", i sol utilitzar-se per descriure coses que són petites. Les actuacions de Little tich van madurar durant una gira dels Estats Units entre 1887 i 1889 on va establir el ball "Big-Boot" i va impressionar audiències amb la seva habilitat d'aguantar-se a les puntes de les sabates i recolzar-se en angles extraordinaris. Els 1890s va desenvolupar el Ball de Serpentina i va tenir un èxit important amb la pantomima de Nadal Babes en la Fusta a Manchester durant la temporada 1889–90 . El 1891, va ser recrutat per empresari Augustus Harris per aparèixer en l'espectacular Theatre royal d'aquell any, la pantomima de Nadal de Drury Lane Humpty Dumpty. Va protagonitzar dues produccions més al teatre, incloent Little Bo Peep (1892) i Robinson Crusoe (1893). Entre 1896 i 1902 Little Tich va actuar a la seva empresa de teatre musical pròpia, i va passar molt temps a París, on va esdevenir un artista de varietat popular. Pels seus actes de sala de la música, va crear personatges bastats en observacions diàries. Les caracteritzacions utilitzades van ser "L'Inspector de Gas", "La Señora Española" i "El Cambrer"; totes tres van ser més tard enregistrades a shellac discos, dels quals en va fer vint en total. Es va casar tres vegades i vas ser pare de dos nens. El 1927 va patir una ambòlia, la qual va ser en part provocat per un cop directe al cap que accidentalment va rebre durant una actuació al vespre al " Alhambra Teatre". Mai es va recuperar completament d'aquesta lesió, i va morir l'any següent a la seva casa de Hendon, als 60 anys. (ca)

Aside from his music hall appearances, he was also a popular performer in Christmas pantomimes and appeared in them annually at theatres throughout the English provinces. He repeated this success in London, where he appeared in three pantomimes at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, between 1891 and 1893 alongside Dan Leno and Marie Lloyd. Born in Cudham, Kent, Little Tich began performing aged ten when he developed a dance and tin-whistle act which he showcased at public houses in Sevenoaks. In the early 1880s he formed a blackface act and gained popularity with performances at the nearby Rosherville Pleasure Gardens and Barnard's Music Hall in Chatham. He travelled to London and appeared at the Forester's Music Hall in 1884. Later that year, he adopted the stage name "Little Tich", which he based on his childhood nickname of "Tichborne", acquired through his portly stature and physical likeness to the suspected Tichborne Claimant Arthur Orton. The terms "titchy" or "titch" were later derived from "Little Tich" and are used to describe things that are small. Little Tich's act further developed during a tour of the United States between 1887 and 1889 where he established the Big-Boot Dance and impressed audiences with his ability to stand on the tips of the shoes and to lean at extraordinary angles. In the 1890s he developed the Serpentine Dance and had a major success with the Christmas pantomime Babes in the Wood in Manchester during the 1889–90 season. In 1891, he was recruited by the impresario Augustus Harris to appear in that year's spectacular Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, Christmas pantomime Humpty Dumpty. He starred in a further two productions at the theatre including Little Bo Peep (1892) and Robinson Crusoe (1893). Between 1896 and 1902 Little Tich performed in his own musical theatre company, and spent much of his time in Paris, where he became a popular variety artist. For his music hall acts, he created characters based on everyday observations. The characterisations used were "The Gas Inspector", "The Spanish Señora" and "The Waiter"; all three were later recorded onto shellac discs, of which he made twenty in total. He was married three times and fathered two children. In 1927 he suffered a stroke, which was partly triggered by a blow to the head which he had accidentally received during an evening performance at the Alhambra Theatre. He never recovered fully from the injury, and died the following year at his house in Hendon, aged 60. (en)
