He has then autographed the sheet and dated it July 28, 1909.

Frederick Rosse (1867–1940) was an English composer of light music and operettas, and the godson of Lillie Langtry.

Maxine Elliott was an American actress who worked with Charlie Chaplin. Her play "The Conquest" was not one of her successes...
