David Ivor Davies (15 January 1893 6 March 1951), better known as Ivor Novello, was a Welsh composer, singer and actor who became one of the most popular British entertainers of the first half of the 20th century. Born into a musical family, his first successes were as a songwriter. His first big hit was "Keep the home fires burning", which was enormously popular during the First World War. After the war, Novello contributed numbers to several successful musical comedies and was eventually commissioned to write the scores of complete shows. In the 1920s, he turned to acting, first in films and then on stage, with considerable success in both. The work for which he is probably best remembered is his series of lavish musical comedies produced from the mid-1930s to the early 1950s, combining romantic music, spectacular sets and costumes and escapist plots. He composed and starred in these shows .- Wikipedia
