Banks of the music hall performer Ada Reeve (1874-1966), taken from a photograph by Ellis and Walery, with vignettes of incidents from the song, including a man giving moral advice to the ballet girls - dancers in the corps de ballet, and a digruntled hansom cab driver. Born in London, Ada Reeve first appeared on stage aged four as 'Little Ada Reeve' and went on to become a popular music hall performer, a pantomime Principal Boy, a star of variety, musical comedy and film actress. \n\nThis song was written by the actor manager, songwriter, composer and playwright Herbert Darnley (1872-1947) who started his career as one of the music hall performers The Darnley Brothers. He went on to appear as a performer in his own right, producing material for other performers including Dan Leno (1860-1904) for whom he co-wrote 'No More Fancy Balls For Me' and 'The Tower of London', and Ada Reeve (1874-1966).","physicalDescription":"Cover of the sheet music for 'Something Else'.
