Ivan Caryll
Félix Marie Henri Tilkin (12 May 1861 – 29 November 1921), better known by his pen name Ivan Caryll, was a Belgian composer of operettas and Edwardian musical comedies in the English language. He composed (or contributed to) some forty musical comedies and operettas.
Caryll's career encompassed three eras of the musical theatre, and unlike some of his contemporaries, he adapted readily to each new development. After composing a few musical burlesques, his first great successes were made in light musical comedies, epitomised by the George Edwardes productions at London's Gaiety Theatre, such as ''The Shop Girl'', ''The Circus Girl'', ''The Gay Parisienne'', and ''A Runaway Girl''. He continued to write musical comedies throughout the next decade, including such hits as ''The Messenger Boy'', ''The Toreador'', ''The Girl From Kays'', ''The Earl and the Girl'', ''The Orchid'', ''The Spring Chicken'', ''The Girls of Gottenberg'' and ''Our Miss Gibbs''. He also wrote some operetta scores, such as ''The Duchess of Dantzic''. After this, he moved to New York City where his post-war works, incorporating new fox-trot and one-step rhythms, included ''The Girl Behind the Gun'' (later a London hit as ''Kissing Time''). At the peak of his career, he had the unparalleled distinction of having five musicals running at the same time in the West End.
==Life and career==
Caryll was born in Liège, Belgium, the son of Henry Tilkin, an engineer.〔Gänzl, Kurt, ("Caryll, Ivan (1861–1921)", ) ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004, accessed 12 January 2011 〕 He studied at the Liège Conservatoire, where he was a fellow student of Eugène Ysaÿe. He then moved to France to study singing at the Paris Conservatoire, where a classmate was Rose Caron.〔"A Chat with Mr. Ivan Caryll", ''Musical Opinion and Music Trade Review'', August 1897, p. 756〕 He moved to London in 1882. He was married for a time in the 1890s to Gilbert and Sullivan star Geraldine Ulmar. Later, he married Maud Hill. He had a daughter named Primrose Caryll, who became an actress.
The dashing, moustachioed Caryll was known as one of the best dressed men in London. He was an extravagant spender and a popular and lavish host, entertaining his theatrical friends in princely style. Caryll's free spending ways caused him trouble occasionally, and he had a few narrow escapes from his creditors.〔("Ivan Caryll" ) at The Gilbert and Sullivan Archive's British Musical Theatre pages, 24 December 2003, accessed 11 January 2011〕
