PROGRAMMES AND ADVERTS – 1951 -1952

The Booth’s joint autobiography was published in 1951 and is now long out of print. I digitised the book several years ago and John Marwood was kind enough to proofread it for me. It is now available in paperback and as an epub at: https://www.lulu.com/duettists

16 October 1951.

Webster’s voice was heard twice – dubbed in a scene from Yeomen of the Guard and at the end, singing an echoey version of A Wand’ring Minstrel. He was not very pleased with his billing in the film.

  1. There seems to be no mention of the Booth’s tour of South Africa in 1951 which included the soprano Emelie Hooke. Iy must have influenced their decision later to relocate to South Africa

    1. The Booths did not tour South Africa in 1951. They were there briefly in 1948 when their ship to Australia stopped at South African ports. The first time Webster had a joint engagement with Emelie Hooke was in 1961 when they both sang at the Port Elizabeth Oratorio Festival.
