Beatrice Lillie

Beatrice Lillie Sings: 1932-19

"Canadian-born British actress, singer and comedic performer Beatrice Gladys Lillie was considered the funniest woman in the world at one time. Making her West End debut in 1914 and breaking New York in 1924, her illustrious stage and television performances were said to have to be seen live to be truly appreciated. 'Sings 1932-1944' says otherwise. On this album, Lillie's lightning has been unmistakably captured in a bottle, and her remarkable presence and delightful humor is evident throughout. Working here with Noel Coward, Beatrice Lillie is captured across a number of wonderful performances from productions such as 'Set to Music', 'Flying Colors' and 'At Home Abroad'.
