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.

Hi Jo,I have condensed it a bit,but this is what the author W.Macqueen Pope has to say in Chapter 20,"some wonderful women".Clarice Mayne.he describes her as "the perfect principal boy"in pantomime,"her carriage and deportment were amazing"and she had an" attractive husky voice,combined with perfect diction,which made her a great singer of songs". On the halls she was a double act,the other half being her husband, the late James.W,TATE,who she always referred to as"That".He composed the songs and accompanied her on the piano.The songs that these two consummate artists gave to Music Hall hold their place still.TATE died in 1922 a victim of overwork,he was a partner with Julian Wylie in pantomime productions.Clarice MAYNE is married again,and happily,to that splendid comedian Teddie KNOX. excerpted from "The MELODIES LINGER ON"August 1950.

Did you know that Clarice Mayne made 78 rpm records for the Gramophone Company and the the Columbia Graphophone Company. First one was made on 4th. October 1911 - last one on 6th. December 1931. Twenty-six sides were issued but, as far as I know, none have been re-issued.. Was she a relarion of the comedian Ernie Mayne?
