Violet Loraine began her career at an early age in pantomime and then appeared in Music Hall and Variety. Her height of fame was during the Revue period around the First World War, and in 1916 she starred with George Robey in The Bing Boys are Here. The song If You were the Only Girl in the World became an instant hit and is still popular today.
