He was one of the most prolific Ampico artists of the time. [2]Carroll was born in Philadelphia and began playing piano by ear at the age of 7. He studied under Mrs. E. Barden at the age of 9, and later with Professor A. Von Stobbi. He began his professional career in 1916 as an accompanist for silent motion pictures and as a vaudeville pianist.[3] Later, he worked on several radio shows, including the Gold Dust Twins radio show.[4]In 1928, Carroll recorded his first piano roll with Victor Arden titled Out of the Dawn. They went on to record 62 unique four hands arrangements.[2]In 1951, Carroll became the general musical director for Westinghouse Electric Corporation and began his work in industrial shows. The intended audience of these shows were Westinghouse distributers and dealers; Carroll's goal was to entertain while educating attendees on ways improve their business practice. Over the next several years, Carroll wrote theme songs and created stage productions for several other organizations, including Easy Washing Machine Company in Syracuse, New York and the Cancer Cytology Foundation of America.[4] COMPOSED BY NOEL COWARDSir Noël Peirce Coward (16 December 1899 – 26 March 1973) was an English playwright, composer, director, actor, and singer, known for his wit, flamboyance, and what Time magazine called "a sense of personal style, a combination of cheek and chic, pose and poise".[1]Coward attended a dance academy in London as a child, making his professional stage début at the age of eleven. As a teenager he was introduced into the high society in which most of his plays would be set. Coward achieved enduring success as a playwright, publishing more than 50 plays from his teens onwards. Many of his works, such as Hay Fever, Private Lives, Design for Living, Present Laughter, and Blithe Spirit, have remained in the regular theatre repertoire. He composed hundreds of songs, in addition to well over a dozen musical theatre works (including the operetta Bitter Sweet and comic revues), screenplays, poetry, several volumes of short stories, the novel Pomp and Circumstance, and a three-volume autobiography. Coward's stage and film acting and directing career spanned six decades, during which he starred in many of his own works, as well as those of others.At the outbreak of the Second World War, Coward volunteered for war work, running the British propaganda office in Paris. He also worked with the Secret Service, seeking to use his influence to persuade the American public and government to help Britain. Coward won an Academy Honorary Award in 1943 for his naval film drama In Which We Serve and was knighted in 1970. In the 1950s he achieved fresh success as a cabaret performer, performing his own songs, such as "Mad Dogs and Englishmen", "London Pride", and "I Went to a Marvellous Party".Coward's plays and songs achieved new popularity in the 1960s and 1970s, and his work and style continue to influence popular culture. He did not publicly acknowledge his homosexuality, but it was discussed candidly after his death by biographers including Graham Payn, his long-time partner, and in Coward's diaries and letters, published posthumously. The former Albery Theatre (originally the New Theatre) in London was renamed the Noël Coward Theatre in his honour in 2006.
