George Edwards - Man of 1,000 Voices
Editorial comment:
The history of George Edwards was a project close to the heart of Moris Sztajer, my research partner until he passed away in 2012. Moris did a lot of research into the life and production history of George Edwards. I have moved it across here from the old website and I am working on setting it back up. It was in several parts and here is the first part. I will add the pictures when I get a chance.
A lot of the history written about George Edwards has made many mistakes and many of those mistakes date back to articles written many years ago and taken as gospel.
I have been in contact with GE's 2 surviving daughters and I hope to get the facts straightened out and kill off the long running mistakes written about GE. Unfortunately the loss of Moris and my own battle with cancer has interfered with my contact with the daughters and getting this site straightened out. But it will be a high priority.
Here is the article written by Moris Sztajer.
Sadly, with the passing of each generation, the memory of the stars of that generation is lost. Even today, if we mention the likes of Jack Davey, Bob Dyer, Mo and many others their names would be recalled by only a few. Yet in their day, thousands would come just to get a glimpse of them.
With this and ensuing features, we would like to recall some of the greats of the Golden Age of Australian Radio. This feature will include the actors, producers and even the shows and today's feature is …
George Edwards
The Man with A Thousand Voices
How can a man in his mid forties, a little portly, balding and with a stammer in normal speech be one of Australian Radio's biggest superstars of the 1930's through to his death in the 1950's ? Yet this was the case.. I refer to George Edwards.
The Early Years
George Edwards was born Henry Parks on March 11,1886 in Kent Town South Australia. From an early age his passion was acting and the theatre. He had the knack of mimicry and the story goes that in his early teens he was able to convince an angry neighbour to return a ball by using George's fathers' voice.
As soon as he could he left school and spent all his time and money purchasing theatrical items such as makeup etc as well as going to the theatre. Also he joined an amateur theatrical group and was in many plays. By 18 he had made a name for himself in amateur theatre as a mimic. However, his health "broke down" so his father booked him a passage to England.
It was in England that he got his first professional job working for the famous impresario of British theatre, George Edwards. He did theatre all over England as well as Music Hall, for he was also an accomplished dancer and singer. His career did not seem to reach the heights that would come later, as he moved from straight theatre, vaudeville to
becoming a dancing instructor.
It was during this period that he changed his name from Harold Parks to George Edwards at the behest of Edward Branscombe who was putting together an up market act did not want anyone who was associated with low brow
music hall type acts. So Harold changed his name to the name of the famous English impresario.
The facts about this period are in question, as the biography's that are about for him were either written by George himself or his brother. Nothing bad seems to have happened. It is known that he was married twice and that his second wife died after an illness, It seems that George took this very hard and had to go to Germany to "take the waters" whether this meant, if we read between the lines, he hit the bottle is not really known.
If we read Richards Lane's book or Sumner Locke Elliot's article in the Bulletin, which the former is in part was based upon, it would seem that in the years prior to 1931/2, George was on the skids and the story goes that he played pie nights and the Showboat a venue that was regarded as the pits for any performer.
Around 1931, it seems, he advertised for a partner and this is where he met Nell Stirling. They became a double act. From here, his fortunes seemed to change. In 1931 George appeared on the ABC in a Saturday variety show doing a ten minute stint . He also, with Nell, performed in department stores.
George Edwards Story - The Successful Years
George was offered to produce a popular play at the time for 2GB, the Ghost Train. He had a budget of 70 pounds and was to provide the cast, the scriptwriter et all. At first George thought it too difficult but astute Nell saw an opportunity and agreed to do it. They hired an aspiring, but as yet untested, scriptwriter by the name of Maurice Francis and to save money Nell talked George into doing four or so roles.
George was initially horrified, as he thought that people would see his as just a stunt to save money. He agreed on condition that what they were doing would not be mentioned.
However, at the end of the show the announcer listed the parts that George played and the rest is history. Rather than being castigated, the public was enthralled that one person could play so many parts. Soon George had sponsors for his shows and of these there were many.
He soon was working with 2GB and their, George and Nell's workload grew astonishingly. They had a morning show Darby and Joan, a children's session David and Dawn early evening, then a show such as Westward Ho between 6
and 7 pm, then an 8.oopm series of Inspector Scott or The Laughing Cavalier and to top things off another show around 10.00pm such as Notable British Plays. Thus was 5 days a week. On the weekend there would be a special Darby and Joan evening version and on Sunday George and Co would do a play at 8.00pm.
His popularity was not only limited to Sydney but Nationally as well.
All done live.
In the mid thirties he signed a contract with EMI Columbia at Homebush and now he had recording facilities. He also changed over to Station 2GB, where he would remain until his death. All shows were now recorded and his life eased a little, but in most of the show he produced he took many roles.
In 1937 he started what many would consider to be the definitive Australian show Dad and Dave. Here George played many a part and would ply Dad until his death in 1953. By this time the George Edwards Productions held over
50000 episodes in its inventory.
In the early years, say to 1942, George would be in most of his productions, after that he let up a little and took up his other interest of horses, opening his own stable, but with little success. He and Nell had a girl, Carolyn, in 1941, but the marriage was a little unsteady when in 1948 Nell and George was divorced with Nell taking over the reigns at George Edwards Productions She allowed George only one role and that was Dad in Dad and Dave which as previously mentioned he continued to play until his death.
Why was he such a success?
The simple reason, and the one previously alluded to was his ability to play many roles in the one session. In Dad and Dave, he played many roles. But the fact of playing many roles only scratched the surface of his mimicking abilities. He had the uncanny ability to hold conversations between the various characters he was playing at the one time.
Further he could play any character with realism. If the script required a Chinese, person old or young, or any other nationality, George could quickly move into the role. He, or Nell, would mark his script with various colours and diagrams to indicate the role ie nationality, age etc. It is said that the only parts he would not play were children and young women.
All this from a man when not in front of the microphone had a stammer!
But Success Breeds Success
At the start of his radio career he was lucky to have Maurice Francis as his scriptwriter. When he was hired to script The Ghost Train, he had no experience in radio. Having worked as an accountant and journalist, among other things, he wanted to get into radio. George and Nell hired him because he said he could write but also insisted him to act as well, thus saving more money.
But Maurice proved a godsend. he was not only able to produce radio script but he did so at an unprecedented speed. He would use four stenographers, dictating to one and when he had finished the episode, the stenographer would go off to type it up, where Maurice would turn to the next one and start dictating a different series and so on. When the first one returned, he would continue where he left off the script without losing a beat, acting out the scenes as he went.
Though the results were not always of the highest standards, but Maurice and especially George understood what the public wanted in their radio serials and they gave them that. If you are producing shows at the rate that they were, some would be poorly written but others could be extremely well done.
Maurice stayed with George Edwards until the outbreak of WWII, when he joined up and served out the war. On his return to civilian life, Maurice started up his own production company with First Light Fraser being the first series. Later he went into advertising.
Maurice was not the only successful writer, other included Lorna Bingham who wrote most of Dad and Dave and Search for the Golden Boomerang another long running series. Later Eric Scott did many of the series produced by
George Edwards.
Not only did he have some good writers, but as the company grew in stature, the best actors would appear as part of his ensemble. Because of the success of the Company it meant continuing work and to get a contract as part of
George Edwards Players meant being able to be fed regularly. If we look at the cast list over the years, nearly every budding Sydney actor would have been associated with George Edwards Productions at some stage of their acting career.
Simply put, George Edwards became radios' first National Superstar His star status remained intact until his death, but unfortunately, with the passing of time his fame has diminished and few today would remember his name let alone his fame.
