Connie Ediss's 'Bacchanalian songs' |
'Miss Connie Ediss, the well-known comedian of the Gaiety Theatre, sailed for South Africa yesterday in fulfilment of a music-hall engagement there. Miss Ediss, one may remark, is no stranger to the variety stage. Years ago, when Mr. Albert Chevalier ran the Trocadero as a music hall in partnership with Mr. Hugh Jay Dicott [a well-known music hall agent and former actor and music hall singer, father of Maudi Darrell], Miss Ediss made her first appearance in London as a ''serio comic,'' singing Bacchanalian songs with great gusto. It was Mr. George Edwardes who first associated her with the métier in which she has become so distinguished - that of the buxom bourgeoise.'
