Barry Ono

[1] Barry Ono was the stage name of Frederick Valentine Harrison.

[2] He was especially known for a one-man routine called "The Old Time Music Hall."

In this 12-minute routine, Ono would do impressions of former singers performing their favorite songs.

In 1932, Ono married Dorinda Hill (the stage name of Dorothy Hiscox) and, though their wedding certificate records that Ono was a widower, no records of any previous marriages have been found.

Ono was an avid collector penny fiction and at the age of twelve conducted a lending library from his home in which, for an initial fee of six pence plus a penny-a-week subscription, boys could borrow from his own collection.
