Douglas Byng , famous female impersonator and master of make-up, was a designer of theatrical costumes before wearing them on the stage. He made his first big hit as the Grand Vizier in Aladdin at the Palladium, and for two years toured in the revue Crystals.
But it was C. B. Cochran who really put him on the map. From 1925 to 1930 he gave brilliant performances in Cochran revue after Cochran revue. Listeners will remember his recent broadcast in 'Top of the Bill'
