A story that my mother told many times was that Uncle Dennis turned up once unannounced in Birmingham when my family was living in Daisy Farm Road. This was before I was born and will have been during one of Dennis’s performances in London during the 1930s.
He arrived when my father was at work and surprised my mother not least because he was in a white Rolls Royce that belonged to Ivor Novello! I have always assumed that he was chauffeured from London although I suppose it is possible he drove. It must have impressed the neighbours no end!
I have been able to verify that Ivor Novello had a Rolls Royce but not that it was white but I have no reason to doubt my mother’s story.
