  • Notes 
    • A humorous story is told of one of the earliest appearances on the concert platform of Noel Fleming, the sweet-voiced tenor of the Williamson, Clarke and Meynell 'Chocolate Soldier' company. Mr Fleming, who was appearing with Clara Butt and Kennerley Rumford in the Albert Hall, London, came on to the platform, and the audience hushed as he was about to begin his song. In the front seats were his wife and little girl, the latter a mere toddler. The latter sighted him, and through the stillness a gleeful voice piped: "There's daddy! See him, mummy, in his good clothes!"

      [Note: The Chocolate Soldier was a musical version of Bernard Shaw's 'Arms and the Man', music by Oscar Straus. Noel played the leading tenor part in Australia and New Zealand in 1911-12.]
