Agnes Fraser

[2] When Isabel Jay left the company, Fraser replaced her as the lead soprano, originating the role of Bessie Throckmorton in Merrie England at the Savoy Theatre in 1902 and then on tour.

[4] The newlyweds enjoyed all the trappings of stardom, being photographed in 1902 in their motorcar[5] and taking part together in a publicity campaign for rail travel.

[8] She appeared in various Edwardian musical comedies, including as Ellaline Lewin in The Talk of the Town, by Seymour Hicks and Charles H. Taylor, composed by Herbert Haines, at the Lyric (1905);[9] Winifred in the farcical musical comedy The Dairymaids, composed by Paul Rubens and Frank E. Tours, at the Apollo Theatre (1906),[10] and others at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in 1907.

[11] She toured the provinces with Passmore from 1911 to 1915 including in the musical farcical sketch Sweet Williams (1911–12) with Johnny Danvers.

[4] By 1939 she was living a rather more modest retirement life with her husband and stockbroker son John Passmore at Heath Mews at The Mount in Hampstead, London.
