R. F. Pollock

RF Pollock (1885, Bonhill, Alexandria – 1938, Bonhill, Alexandria) was a Scottish critic and theatre manager involved in the promotion of Scottish theatre. He was the force behind the Tron Theatre Club (1929–1932) and sought to develop a distinct Scottish style of acting. MacDiarmid devotes an essay to him, ‘R.F. Pollock and the Art of Theatre,’ included in Contemporary Scottish Studies (1926).
