  • Owen Hall, nato James Davis (Dublino, 10 aprile 1853 – Harrogate, 9 aprile 1907), è stato uno scrittore, critico teatrale, librettista e avvocato britannico. Di origine irlandese, Owen Hall fu autore teatrale, giornalista, critico e avvocato. Il suo vero nome era James "Jimmy" Davis, ma usò lo pseudonimo di Owen Hall per firmare i suoi lavori. Dopo aver intrapreso la carriera legale, passò al giornalismo, approdando in seguito al teatro. Scrisse il libretto per alcuni dei più grandi successi delle stagioni teatrali che vanno dal 1890 ai primi anni del nuovo secolo, tra i quali vanno annoverati A Gaiety Girl, An Artist's Model, , A Greek Slave e Florodora. Nonostante i suoi successi, Hall - a causa di uno stile di vita stravagante e preso dalla passione per il gioco d'azzardo - visse costantemente perseguitato dai debiti e dalle difficoltà finanziarie. La sua commedia The Geisha venne adattata due volte per lo schermo. (it)
