Albert Chevalier
Albert Chevalier (21 March 1861 - 10 July 1923) was an English, music hall comedian, singer and musical theatre actor. He specialised in cockney related humour based on life as a costermonger in London during the Victorian era, famous for his cockney songs like "My Old Dutch". He later returned to straight theatre. Chevalier was so popular that his inclusion in Alick P.F. Ritchie's series of music hall stars was inevitable. However, his claim to be "The Coster King" might have been challenged by his rival Gus Elen (22 July 1862 - 17 February 1940)
