p_baskcombaw.jpgAll that can presently (January 2024) be gleaned about A. W. Baskcomb from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that he was an English actor/singer who has been featured on just one work namely Ow I 'ate Women (1924) music by Harold Fraser-Simson, words by Percy Greenbank and published by Ascherberg - Hopwood & Crew, London W., England
His portrait on the left is taken from the film The Midshipmaid (1932) in which he played the part of AB Pook.
This list is derived from information provided by Monologues.co.uk which went down sometime in 2023.
The loss of this valuable resource is very sad and a mystery.
