Maidie Scott (born Mary Elizabeth Pim; 21 September 1881 – 28 July 1966) was an Irish-born singer, comedienne and music hall performer.
One reviewer in Leeds described her performance that year in the musical comedy The Girl from Japan as: "delightfully dainty and demure... [She] holds the hearts of all the male members of the audience in willing thralldom...
[3] Among her most successful songs were "Everybody Works But Father" (first published in 1905), "The Bird on Nellie's Hat" (1907), "If the Wind Had Only Blown the Other Way" (1909), and "If the Managers Only Thought the Same as Mother" (1910).
[7] She married John Francis MacGregor, a stockbroker, and lived on Magna Carta Island in the River Thames at Runnymede.
She remained a popular performer, appearing with Gaby Deslys in revue in 1915, when she was described as "one of the daintiest, cleverest, and most winsome comediennes on the stage".
