Seller's Description
Ella Shields
Ella Shields ( September 27, 1879 – August 5, 1952 ) was a music hall singer and male-impersonator. Her famous signature song, "Burlington Bertie from Bow", written by her manager and first husband , William Hargreaves , was an immediate hit . Though American-born, Ella achieved her greatest success in England .
She began her career in 1898 doing a vaudeville song-and-dance act with her sisters. In 1904 a talent scout lured Shields to London, where she was billed as the "Southern Nightingale." In 1910 she appeared at the opening night of the London Palladium. It was at this time that she become a male impersonator. The story goes that one night in 1910 Shields was attending a party at which music-hall performers did their acts for one another. Half of a two-man musical act was out sick, and Shields put on trousers to fill in for him. This impromptu turn in trousers proved to be the turning point of her career and she rarely wore dresses on stage again .
