 Albert Chevalier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Chevalier (March 21, 1861–July 10, 1923) was an English comedian and actor.
Chevalier performed several sentimental songs in his act; the most popular of these was "My Old Dutch", about an old man's long happy marriage to his wife.
The song's title is based on Cockney rhyming slang: in this case, "Dutch" is a shortening of the phrase "Dutch plate", which rhymes with "mate".

 "Archives de la Planète" by Teresa Castro, p. 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Albert Kahn’s purpose was, to quote him again, “to fix once and for all the aspects, practises, and modes of human activity whose inevitable disappearance is just a question of time.”[15] The images were therefore collected and assembled for their relevance as historical documents.
Despite Albert Kahn’s laudable intentions (informed among other elements by a strong pacifist philosophy[17]), it remains indisputable that the expansion of western imperialism and the ideological issues it entailed played a significant role in the shaping of his project.
It seems then that Albert Kahn’s archive is unexpectedly informed by the primary way of representing and describing the world as an ensemble: the atlas.

Albert’s first appearance in the music hall was at the London Pavilion, his opening song being ‘The Coster’s Serenade’.
He was dressed in a chequered jacket, peaked cap, neckcloth and bell bottomed trousers, all trimmed with the velvet and pearl buttons of the Coster comedian.
To many of his friends and fellow actors he was considered to be committing ‘social suicide’ by moving into the music halls, but Albert was to prove them all wrong.

 Cockney - LoveToKnow 1911
This has almost entirely disappeared, and the chief consonantal variation which exists is perhaps the change of th to f or v, as in." fing "for thing, or" favver "for father.
This and the vowelsound change from ou to ah, as in" abaht "for" about,"are only heard among the uneducated classes, and, together with _ other characteristic pronunciations, phrases and words, have been well illustrated in the so-called" coster "songs of Albert Chevalier.
The most marked and widely-prevalent change of vowel sound is that of ei for ai, so that" daily "becomes" dyly and "may" becomes "my." This is sometimes so marked(that it almost amounts to incapacity to distinguish the vowels a and i, and is almost universal in large classes of the population of London.

 Gus Elen
In the music-hall hierarchy it is usual to find Albert Chevalier given first place among Cockney performers and to find Alec Hurley and Gus Elen trailing some way behind.
In that Chevalier wrote so many of his own songs, justice is done; but in two or three songs at least, Gus Elen had material as good if not better than the very best of Chevalier's, and he had an approach which, although perhaps more restricted than Chevalier's, suited his material to perfection.
Macqueen-Pope has suggested that Gus Elen's coster was closer to the Cockney way of life than was the rather more idealized version of Chevalier.

 Sounds of the Music Hall: A Discography
In terms of sound quality, in a randomly-selected head-to-head, I set Albert Chevalier's 1911 recording of 'My Old Dutch' from the Windyridge Chevalier set against the same from Bear Family's Round the Town collection.
My preference is for the latter: the sound is warmer, the voice more present with less of the tinniness I found in the Windyridge cut.
Heavy on the Florrie Forde, Albert Whelan, and Billy Williams, and well-mastered, both volumes are well worth the investment.
