CLEM DAWE AND ERIC EDGLEY – Brother comedians (real name White) came to Australia from England in 1920. They toured here for many years with their Midnight Frolics revue. In 1935 Clem and Eric took an all-Australian company to London with disastrous results. They settled here during the Second World War and for some time were resident funsters at radio 3DB in Melbourne where another brother, Les White, was studio manager. Eric (“Mick”) Edgley went on to found me international theatrical enterprise that still bears his name.
