Herman Darewski (17 April 1883 –
2 June 1947) was a British composer and conductor of light music. His most
successful work was perhaps The Better 'Ole, which ran for over 800 performances in
its original London production in 1917. Some of his songs became very
successful in musical revues. Born in Minsk,
and musically trained in Vienna, he worked in London, for the first 15 years of
the new century, as a composer of light songs, some of which were written for
the new theatre form, revue. After the First World War, Darewski had a long
career as a conductor of light music, both in London and at English coastal
resorts.
Enid Georgiana Stamp Taylor (12 June 1904 –
13 January 1946) was an English actress. Taylor first became
known when she won a beauty pageant at a young age and this led to parts in
musical comedies on stage, including The Cabaret Girl (1922), in which she was billed as
simply "Enid Taylor". She progressed to film, appearing in Alfred Hitchcock's Easy Virtue (1928), Queen of Hearts (1934),
and The Wicked Lady (1945).
The Stamp part of her name was included as a middle name; it was her
grandmother's maiden name. Taylor married Sidney Colton and they had a daughter
called Robin Anne. Her marriage to Colton was dissolved in 1936. On 9
January 1946 she fell in the bathroom of her Park Lane flat and suffered a
fractured skull. She was unconscious for three days, but woke briefly following
two operations at St Georges Hospital in Wimbledon to remove a blood clot to
her brain, but died on the 13 January, two months after the release of her
final film, The Wicked Lady.
