He first appeared under it at the Oxford Music-Hall on 13 April 1895 when his early act consisted of sketches in which he mimicked music-hall stars of the day, using clip-on paper costumes to allow as many as forty-two changes in one act. He went on to develop various sketches based on middle-class leisure pursuits such as fishing, golfing and gardening which he performed with a small company.\r\n\r\n<i>Motoring,</i>Tate's first great success, became hugely popular for his company on the music halls. It is a story about a father, an idiotic son in his Eton suit, and a chauffeur attempting to take the son back to school in a car that won’t start. The son, originally played by Tommy Tweedley, a youth he found at the Liverpool Empire, sat in the back of the car making inane comments such as ‘It’s amazing, pa-pa’, and ‘Goodbye-eee’. ‘Goodbye-eee' became Tate’s best-known catchphrase and the inspiration for the popular World War I song.","physicalDescription":"A tinted photograph of Harry Tate from the extended six-reel film version of his Variety sketch <i>Motoring.</i> Dressed in a checked suit and cap he is attempting to use a stethoscope to diagnose the problems with his car.
