Gus Harris
Last updated: 17.03.25
It is surprising that so little is known about this performer considering the large number of recordings located. All that can presently (February 2025) be gleaned about Gus Harris from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that he was presumably an English actor/singer who has been featured on 11 works published between 1906 and 1920. He also made a pair of recordins in 1915.His portrait on the left is taken from Do I? Yes I Do (1920) music by L. Silberman, words by H. Rule and F. Holt, published by Anglo-French Music Publisher, London, England.
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.
