Austin Rudd

Music hall singer and comedian. Born Arthur Rudd in London. In his day he was extremely popular and he toured throughout the world, but is now largely forgotten. His act was described as being 'quaint in style' and at other times as 'robust' and he would often wear curiously odd make up.
