CHEVALIER A.& TUTE SAM.: - The Rose of Our Alley.

London Reynolds & Co c 1892. With a red ornate lettered cover. Albert Chevalier (1861-1923) was originally an actor who was considered to not only faithfully represent the cockney but wrote some of the great songs of the music hall in doing that. Usually he collaborated with Charles Ingle who was his manager and also his brother(real name Auguste Chevalier), however here Ingle arranged the song for him. The famous writer Colin MacInnes who disliked Chevalier was still forced to admit the skill of his writing and quotes two of this song's verses in his book "Sweet Saturday Night". Sam Tute the composer also arranged two songs for F.V. St Claire in 1896/7. Chevalier was Reynold's major songwriter/perfomer as their major catalogue consisted of monologues. .
