1928. With 28 illustrations. Sir Harry Lauder was the most
successful star of the English music halls in the first quarter of
the twentieth century. Scotland's image in the world today owes
much to the caricature presented by Harry Lauder's stage
performances. His extravagant highland dress, glengarry at a jaunty
angle, humor, ultra-thrifty attitudes and sentimental songs
endeared him to many audiences. Lauder recalls his glory days in
this volume of memoirs named after the song Roamin' in the Gloamin,
which was inspired by love for his wife. Contents: Wee Harry;
