Claire Romaine (1873-1964)
Last updated: 26.04.24
p_romainec.jpgIt is surprising that so little is known about this performer considering the large number of compositions located. All that can presently (July 2021) be gleaned about Claire Romaine from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she has been featured on 12 works published between 1896 and 1912.
Of interest is I Haven't Told My Mother Up to Now (1907) music by J. Charles Moore, words by Percy Ford and published by Maurice Shapiro Music Publisher, New York, USA where she is featured as London's Pet Boy.
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.
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.
