If you are talking about someone who was involved in the theatre world in 1954, maybe you are talking about Sir Lawrence Olivier or someone.
Shakespeare wasn't alive in 1954.
The King's Men
The Lord Chamberlain's Men did not buy the Globe. They disassembled The Theatre and reassembled it as The Globe.
Shakespeare did not name the acting group he belonged to. Elizabethan theatre groups did not name themselves; they were required by law to have a noble or royal patron and the theatre group took its name from that person. If the patron changed his title, the name of the company changed; if the patron was replaced by someone else (as happened with the company Shakespeare belonged to) then the name of the company changed. Even if the theatre company has some say in what they were called, and they didn't, Shakespeare was not the leader of the company. The brothers Richard and Cuthbert Burbage were the leaders. The patrons of the company were Henry Carey, the Lord Chamberlain and King James I.
All Elizabethan theatre companies took their name from the name of their patron. When their patron changed, their name changed. When the Lord Chamberlain's Men stopped being sponsored by the Lord Chamberlain and started being sponsored by the King, they became the King's Men. The members of the theatre company didn't have any say in the matter.

The Globe Theater (in London) was Shakespeare's venue.
The company was founded by David T Abercrombie and later joined by Ezra Fitch hence the name.
Shakespeare was not alive in 1954. Prior to 1594 Shakespeare worked with a number of companies as an actor and as a playwright. The companies may have included Queen Elizabeth's Men, Pembroke's Men, Strange's Men, and possibly others. In 1594 he became a founding member of an acting company which lasted long after his death in 1616. The company formed as Lord Hunsdon's Men, but soon after Lord Hunsdon was appointed Lord Chamberlain of England, so the company changed its name to reflect the new elevated status of its patron. In 1603, King James I became the company's new patron and the company name again changed to the King's Men. The King's Men lasted until the closing of the theaters in 1642. Shakespeare also owned shares in the Globe, a public playhouse, and Blackfriars, a private playhouse.
They are more commonly remembered as the King's Men.
It is the name of a Russian theatre and Ballet company.
The Gielgud Theatre used to be called the Globe Theatre (from 1909 to 1994). But my guess is that's not the Globe Theatre you are thinking of. You probably are mixing up the Globe Theatre (a building where Shakespeare and others acted and which never changed its name) and the Lord Chamberlain's Men (a company or group of actors which performed in a number of different buildings, the Globe theatre included, which changed its name a number of times).
