Stanley J. Damerell
Stanley J. Damerell (aka Jack Stevens aka John Edward Stanley Damerell Stevens; né John Edward Stanley Stevens; 1 July 1878 – 12 December 1951) was, in his early life (1900s through to the early 1920s), a British vaudevillian actor, writer, and producer, and in his later life (from the 1920s until his death), a prolific lyricist, and, to a lesser degree, composer of popular songs.
Damerell was born in Fulham, London.
As a writer and producer of vaudevillian revues, Damerell collaborated with Cecil Rutland. Their productions were billed under the name, Damerell and Rutland.
In 1921, composer Tolchard Evans, and his regular lyricists, Damerell and Robert Joseph Hargreaves (1893–1934), along with Harry Tilsley (né Henry B. Tilsley), formed the Cecil Lennox Music Company to publish their songs. Damerell and Hargreaves sometimes used the pseudonym Erell Reaves – an amalgamation of the last five letters of Damerell and the last six letters of Hargreaves. Damerell is the maiden name of Stanley's mother, Eliza Stevens. Stanley J. Damerell also, in 1932, published music under the pseudonym Robert Stanley, and in 1935, Stan Merrell.
Damerell also collaborated with John Neat (1876–1949), who sometimes used the pseudonym Lilian Ray.
On 4 August 1902, Damerell married Violet Eva Walter (1882–1974), an actress, in St Pancras. In January 1918 he married "Noel" Burningham (née Irene Victoria Burningham; 1887–1969) in Camberwell, whose married name was Irene Victoria Stevens. She had been a member of the Grand Order of Lady Ratlings.
Damerell died in Teddington, Middlesex, on 12 December 1951, aged 73.
