Harold Fraser-Simson, especially, was able to complement his comfortable home in Acacia Road, NW8, with the purchase of Dalcross Castle at Croy in the Scottish Highlands, to the north-east of Inverness. The show’s success was something which none of its participants could hope to repeat. James W Tate lived only a short time longer, dying in Stoke-on-Trent on 5 December 1922, aged forty-six, of pneumonia caught while travelling the country with his touring revues. Fraser-Simson’s was a modest talent that he used to maximum effect. Such numbers as the beautiful barcarolle that opens Act 3 of The Maid of the Mountains stand out from the routine musical theatre music of the time. Testimony to the pride he took in his music is his collection of finely bound manuscript scores, which is now in The British Library.
