Hello Bill and all, I guessed that she would have made some recordings but I did not that for sure. I have a f friend that is a collector of old 78rpm records and he attends lots of exchange events, I have asked him to look out for a Clarice Mayne recording for me, as I would dearly love to hear her voice. As to the connection with Ernie Mayne although I have heard of him I do not know if it is but a coincidence. My maiden name was DULLEY and I have led to believe that it was probably Clarice's as well as she had a sister called Ethel Dulley that had never married. However, I am sure some very knowledgeable person on this list will soon put us straight on the facts Bill! Incidentally, I know Clarice was born in London but does anyone know exactly where? Best wishes, Jo Redding. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Dean Myatt [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 15 June 2001 23:16 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [THEATRE-UK] Fw: Clarice MAYNE.

Hello list, Does anyone have any information concerning a dancer ? known by the stage name of "Maudie CURZON". Real name Alice Maud SPRATT b. 14 October 1889, Dover, England. She arrived on the Isle of Wight with a group of entertainers and there met and married: Antonio Joseph (Tony) ROSSI b. about 1884 Bristol, England. Tony was also an entertainer and the son of Italian immigrants. He had a donkey and a monkey and a barrel organ. He may have been summoned to Osborne House to entertain Queen Victoria's children. Tony and Maudie had six children and remained on IOW. Unrelated question: Are there records of musicians to Queen Victoria ? I am looking for a male - surname KELLEY. I do not know what instrument he played. Cheerio, Lila Maire Whiteford - in always sunny So.

I wonder if anyone can help, please? I understand that my late grandfather was "a theatre manager in Crewe" - according to fading family memories. It would be sometime after WWI and before 1932 when he died. Is there a route you would recommend to determine what theatres were active in the Crewe area and where one might find info on managers? Many thanks for reading this, Nigel - former programme-maker(TV) in the fairly recent days when entertainment was the sole raison d’être, not revenue-generation for shareholders - or is it me? - in Fenstanton, Cambridgeshire (or Huntingdonshire to all thinking persons esp. genealogists) The birthplace of John Howland, one of the first Pilgrims on the "Mayflower" ___________________________________________________ http://www.fenstanton-village.co.uk - best viewed at 800 x 600 or greater - optimised for IE4 and above ___________________________________________________ --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hello Jo, So pleased that you were able to request the book I mentioned about the Crazy Gang. I won't tell you any more now, otherwise it will spoil your enjoyment. The picture of Clarice Mayne on her wedding day is in this book. My cousin Eddie Gray's brother John is still alive, and is now 91. They were a theatrical family, and brothers Danny, Billy and Charlie ( better known as Eddie Le Roy) were well known in their day.There were also sisters Vickie, Grace (Ambrose) and Lina (Hardcastle), so if those names ring any bells with anybody, I should be pleased to hear from them. Eddie married Patti Loftus, and I am still trying to find out a bit more about her. Also, look at the old films shown in the small hours on Channel 4. A few years ago they showed one which featured the Crazy Gang, which I taped. So you could get lucky ! All the best........Wendi

My Grandmother was proud of the fact that George H. Elliott, dubiously named The Original Chocolate Coloured Coon, "took a shine" to her, until he found out she was married. This was in Manchester about 1900. Does anybody know anything about George H. Ellott? I know he was still working in 1956. My Grandmother's name was Emily Perkins (nee Carter). Any info on theatre programmes that may give dates etc would be welcomed? Sylvia Hodges

Hi Sylvia I am sure you will be inundated with information about G H Elliott,I have found some references.First appearance and success for G.H.Elliott was at The Argyle,Birkenhead.Popular songs he sang "Hullo Susie Green","I used to Sigh for the Silvery Moon"-and many more, whose melodies linger on.Still the same charm invests the Chocolate Coloured Coon,still the same agility and art,he can sing Gene Strattons songs better than anyone except Gene himself.

Hello Again Carole, This is a wonderful insight and I thank you very much for taking the time to send it. Ironically B.C (Before children!), I was a professional singer, equity and all that. I have a contralto voice and one of my daughter's have the same deep husky voice. So much so that people are always asking her if she has a poorly throat; with her blonde hair and blue eyes she could be the next Peggy Lee, some way to go though as she is only eight years old! I shall have to start digging a bit more on Ethel DULLEY to tie all this in but I am rather hooked now. Perhaps Equity could tell me from their records what Clarice Maine's real name was? You are a gem, thanks again Carole, Jo Redding. -----Original Message----- From: CAROLE CUMBER [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 14 June 2001 14:00 To: [email protected] Subject: [THEATRE-UK] Fw: Clarice MAYNE.

Hello all, To think I only joined this list yesterday and have already been given some wonderful new information on my connection with Clarice Maine. I also think there could be a connection with the Ward side of my family - Sarah Ward being my great-grandmother's maiden name. My grandfather, Harold also had the middle name of Ward so I guess this must have been important. He boxed at Blackfriar's as a young man under the name of Harold Ward too. Sarah married my great grandfather Richard and he was a Master grocer in Brixton. They lived at 16, Merredene Street in case anyone know where that is. I would dearly loved to learn more about Clarice and also would be interested to see if I can link in the Ward's as well, so if anyone has further information it would be gratefully received. I telephoned my local library about the book that Wendi mentioned and they are going to order a copy for me, I can't wait! Jo Redding
