GLADYS MONCREIFF
Gladys Moncrieff OBE (13 April 1892 ? 8 February 1976) was an Australian singer who was so successful in musical theatre and recordings that she became known as 'Australia's Queen of Song' and 'Our Glad'.
Moncrieff was born in Bundaberg, Queensland. Her father Reginald Edward Moncrieff was a piano tuner, and her mother, who went by the stage name Amy Lambell, was a professional singer. She attended several schools in north Queensland, and quickly became involved in music. Her first stage performance was at the age of six at the Queen's Theatre in Bundaberg, where she sang the American folk song "The Merriest Girl That's Out" with her father accompanying on piano. She performed in Gilbert and Sullivan productions. At the 1907 Charters Towers eisteddfod, Gladys shared first prize for her junior soprano rendition of "O for the Wings of a Dove" with local girl Eileen Coleman.
