Mrs Dorothy Fyffe gave talk to St Agnes club in our room. Saw her polished show some months back, when she stepped into the breach at about 2 days' notice. She went on music halls with her elder sister when she was 15, and travelled through Europe, appearing at Folies Bergere, and in Royal Command Performance in 1938, and before the King and Queen when they visited France in 1939, when Maurice Chevalier was also on the latter bill and was largely responsible for sending the sisters to Rio de Janeiro. At the time Tyrone Power and Annabella were there. At Royal Command Performance, Gracie Fields was the big attraction. Dorothy was also with Bertram Mills' circus for some time. ((Dorothy had a daughter Elisabeth, born in camp in July 1942)).
