Tranny or Granny?

British comedienne Cicely Courtneidge, courtesy of An Open Book.

Ms. Courtneidge starred in a revue called Gay's the Word, performing songs by Ivor Novello.

We are not making this up.

    Ok, that didn't help at all, did it?

  2. Somehow I don't really believe that Ivor Novello wrote lyrics in the style that Jason suggests! Though I have heard the music to Gay's the Word and it was anything but.
    Cicely played Madame Arcati in the London production of High Spirits, an experience that left her with lasting contempt for her director, Mr Noel Coward.
