Arthur Tauchert

[1] Although he mostly worked as a specialist solo act, Tauchert teamed up at various times with other comics, including Albert McKisson (ex-McKisson and Kearns), Bert Corrie, Ted Tutty, and Ern Delavale.

After the success of The Sentimental Bloke, Tauchert appeared in at least ten more films including Ginger Mick (1920), again based on the poems of C. J. Dennis.

Tauchert has received very little historical attention even though he played a significant part in Australia's early film industry and his contemporaries clearly considered him to be among the country's top entertainers.

[2] One prominent American singer, Lou London, even said of him: "I consider Arthur Tauchert one of the most original individuals I have met; he is also one of the best-dispositioned men I have ever had the pleasure of working alongside."

London backed his opinion shortly before returning home by giving Tauchert the exclusive Australasian rights to all the songs he had worked on in Australia, as well as several he had not performed (Everyone's 12 Oct. 1921, p. 20).
