(2-CD set) Spotted in a New York Speakeasy, she was bought to London in 1924 by Australian impresario Beaumont Alexander who immediately divested her of her American accent, dyed her hair platinum blonde (before Jean Harlow!) and launched her into the world of exotic West End cabaret where she was known for performing in nothing but a g-string and feather boa...and this was 1925! The Thirties were Frances" decade and she appeared in countless shows and films, her greatest success being the stunning stage production of Jill Darling. She was a song stylist of supreme individuality as this wonderfully re-mastered double CD from Avid clearly shows.
