Les Allen
Les Allen," among the most popular and handsome of singers, won international fame with the BBC Dance Orchestra under Henry Hall and had to sign autographs like a film star. He was born in London, but Ms parents took him to Toronto when he was two. He was boy soloist in several choirs, and when seventeen toured across Canada with the Band of the 48th Highlanders, singing through a megaphone to the crowds assembled at the Fall Fairs.
He returned to England in 1923, appearing with the Toronto Band at a London restaurant. Until 1932, when he joined the BBC Dance Orchestra, he toured the music-halls with Alfredo's Band.
