Any information on Phyllis and Zena DARE, Musical Comedy stars early in the century. My grandmother was said to be Phyllis' dresser and Phyllis was my mother's godmother. How this came about, is what I'd like to know. It must have been when they were in Lancashire, but you can never tell! Please get in touch if you know of anything Regards Lorraine in Oz

Hi Lorraine, Zena Dare is mentioned by the author of "The Melodies linger on"but briefly and in reference to the "sketch"as a natural vehicle for stars of the legitimate stage appearing on the variety stage;he places her name thus" G.P.Huntley,George Graves,Sir Seymour Hicks,with Zena Dare,Gladys Cooper,or his dear wife Ellaline Terriss for partner,were always a sure"top of the bill."
