Last updated: 09.06.25
All that can presently (August 2021) be gleaned about Ethel Victor from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she has been featured on 5 works published between 1880 and 1884.Of interest is They Say I Am Pretty (1882) words & music by I. George, and published by Willey & Co, London, England. The front cover of this work has a charming portrait of her shown on the left.
The 15th September 1887 edition of the Islington Gazette describes Ethel Victor as a "dashing serio-comic" when appearing along with Dan Leno and others at The Collins Music Hall.
