Ivor Novello: New York
built 666 days ago
Ivor Novello was certainly a giant of early 20th century showbiz. I think it is a shame that there is no easily accessible monument to this great man. A statue fund has been established - let's hope that enough is raised soon enough to place a statue in the new 'opera house' in the Bay.

Soon after Ivor Novello had left school he and his parents moved to London and lived at 55 New Bond Street from 1910 to 1913. A singing coach was arranged for him. He then lived in a flat at 11 Aldwych, above the Strand Theatre, from 1913 to 1951.

On the ship home from a five-month trip to New York in 1919, Novello received a cable that began his career as a film star in The Call of the Blood. He soon became Britain's leading silent movie star and matinee idol, with continued success when the 'talkies' took over.
