Percy Fletcher , whose death at the age of little more than fifty occurred only last year, was one of those active musicians who, in the manner of permanent Government officials, do the real work that noisier people shout about and get the credit for. Fletcher was a clever composer of the best type of popular music, a man of experience in every department of the profession, and one who knew every inch of the theatre from the box-office to the stage-door-for years he was musical director at His Majesty's Theatre. He was, like his colleague, Eric Coates , born in the Midlands at Derby. Besides the music he composed for the theatre he produced a quantity of cleverly-written, very tuneful and extremely popular light music. He ranked amongst the half-dozen or so British musicians who did this sort of thing extremely well.
