The English variety theatre act known as 'Betty Barclay & a Baritone' toured the circuits between about 1910 and 1920 with their refined entertainment at a white grand piano, in which the 'Baritone' (George Glover) sang to the accompaniment of Miss Barclay. They made a handful of recordings for the HMV label about 1915 of which this example is a version of Herbert B. Hedley's song, 'I Want My Home In Ohio' (C-669). Betty Barclay's husband, Lieut.-Commander Beal, R.N., was killed on active service in the Spring of 1917.

The recording and images featured here are from John Culme's Footlight Notes Collection.
