Emily Dutton

The Martins regularly entertained at their home "Martindale" in Duffield Street, Gawler East, where Dutton learned the art of the gracious hostess.

A memorial service was held on Sunday 24 October at nearby Hamilton, in St. Matthews Anglican Church, which, with its fine pipe organ, had been financed by the "Squire of Anlaby".

The party consisted of two Dodge cars, the second being driven by the Duttons' chauffeur, a Mr. Brearley, and though arduous the trip was practically trouble-free; one broken spring and one puncture in the Dunlop "Railroad" tyres[10] being the only damages incurred.

[15] She hosted a number of dignitaries at Anlaby Station, including Lotte Lehmann, Sybil Thorndike, Lewis Casson, Edward Hayward, and Hans Heysen.

[17] Her acquaintances included the Pembrokes of Wilton; the actors George Arliss, Elissa Landi, Edna May, and Edna Thomas; sopranos Lina Scavizzi and Toti Dal Monte; composers Ignaz Friedman and Efrem Zimbalist; sculptor, Phyllis Archibald; women's rights advocate, Marie Galway; Girl's Guides Commissioners May Douglas and Shylie Katherine Rymill; and the last Queen of Italy, Marie-José of Belgium.
