George Lattimore

The orchestra was complimented for its varied repertoire and performed for the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII) at Buckingham Palace.

The tour was interrupted by tragedy on October 9, 1921 when the SS Rowan, on which the orchestra were travelling from Glasgow to Derry, was involved in an accident and eight musicians were drowned.

[7] A late incarnation of the SSO was Lattimore's Symphony Orchestra which appeared in Vienna in 1922 featuring trumpeter Tommy Smith, trombonist Ted Heath, Buddie Gilmore on drums and William Burns as vocalist.

Du Bois, Lattimore reported that he was having a "successful run" with the film at the Philharmonic Hall, where the SSO had also performed.

The show, which seems to have been based at least partly on Wildest Africa, included a musical interlude to enliven the proceedings and to cover up the changing of the film reels.

In 1926, Lattimore married the British artists' model Dolores (Norine Schofield) in London, her third marriage.
