Lloyd Garrett
Lloyd Fry Garrett (July 2, 1886–April 15, 1966) was a tenor in vaudeville and musical comedy and also a composer and lyricist.
==Biography==
Lloyd Garrett was born in Moulton, Iowa, into a well-educated, middle-class family; his father was a lawyer, and Lloyd was encouraged to follow his profession.〔1890 U. S. Federal Census; "Leading Man in Operetta White's Find," ''Rochester Democrat and Chronicle,'' October 11, 1929, p. 19.〕 However, after three years at Drake University he joined his brother Hoyt W. Garrett, a pianist, in pursuing a career in entertainment.〔"Vaudeville and Minstrel," ''The New York Clipper'' LVII:6 (March 27, 1907), p. 165.〕 He was initially a saxophonist, first with the Colonial Saxophone Quartette and after 1907 in a duo with his brother; but he quickly became better known as a singer, leading The Melody Makers, a quartet managed by the Redpath agency, often on the Chautauqua circuit.〔"Chautauqua Grounds Buzzing with Activity,” ''The Marion () Daily Star'', August 12, 1916, p. 12.〕 He was a high tenor and evidently possessed a fine falsetto; in 1915–16 he was featured as a “boy soprano” with Ralph Dunbar’s Bell-Ringers.〔“Pantages Theatre,” ''The Daily Colonist'' (Columbia ), December 3, 1916, p. 16.〕
By 1918 he had established himself as a solo singer in revues. He was especially active in Chicago until 1920, and it was probably there that he met Gertrude Lehman, an actress, who became his first wife on December 12, 1922.〔Cook County Marriage Index; U. S. Passport Application, January 2, 1923.〕 In 1920 he was featured in the second edition of George White's ''Scandals'', singing songs by George Gershwin, among others, and he reappeared in the later shows at least until 1926.〔“Garrett a Hit,” ''The Billboard'' 32:43 (October 23, 1920), p. 34.〕 At the same time he maintained a career in vaudeville and musical comedy, appearing in London in 1923 and in a Marx Brothers show in 1925.〔“Lloyd Garrett Is in London,” ''Variety'' 70:3 (March 8, 1923), p. 38; "'I'll Say She Is' at the Majestic", ''The Boston Globe'', February 25, 1925, p. 11.〕
In 1925 he opened in a production of ''The Student Prince'' that toured intermittently for several years; his co-star was Ruth Williams, and sometime in the next two years Garrett must have divorced his first wife, since he married Williams on September 20, 1927, in a widely reported ceremony, with both garbed in their ''Student Prince'' costumes.〔1925 12 19: “Musical Comedy Notes,” ''The Billboard'' 37:51 (December 19, 1925), p. 31; 1927 09 21, “‘The Student Prince’ Weds the ‘Maid’ in Real Romance,” ''The Boston Globe'' (September 21, 1927), p. 6.〕 The couple settled in Stamford, Connecticut, and Garrett thereafter limited himself to brief tours and club appearances in New York. His last vaudeville tour was in 1935, with only scattered radio appearances thereafter. He eventually took a sales position with the Stamford firm of Pitney Bowes, and the Garretts became prominent in the social life of Stamford. In retirement he moved to Del Mar, California, where he died.
