p_lyricd.jpgAll that can presently (March 2021) be gleaned about Dora Lyric from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she has been featured on 7 works published between 1904 and 1911. Various playbills describe her as a "Burlesque Actress" and "Refined Comedienne"
Of interest is I'll Tell Tilly on the Telephone (1907) music by Harry Castling, words by Fred Godfrey and published by Francis, Day & Hunter, London W.C.2, England. The front cover of which displays her much more prominently than the song's authors.
