Paul Draper was a nephew of the famous American actress Ruth Draper, a few times removed cousin of British actress Ruth Grenfell and poignantly, the older brother of Sanders Draper, the heroic RAF pilot, who when the engine on his Spitfire failed on take off at Hornchurch, crash landed to avoid hitting a nearby school containing hundreds of children. The school is now named after him. Their mother Muriel Draper was also a writer and renowned hostess. Quite a family.

Paul Draper performed with Larry Adler. I wonder what those performances were like?
