A lot of making and of experience has gone to bring Mark Sheridan to the top-of-the-tree-position-as-a-comedian which he occupies to-day. He did not tumble into it accidentally. Nobody ever does really tumble into success. Plenty of people would like to think that they could, but they shirk or are ignorant of the trying long years of hard work, beginning at small things and working up bit by bit, that added to innate capacity ultimately bring the successful to any position of eminence that they happen to occupy. So with Mark.

The Era 1909 [ SONGS, WRITERS,AND SINGERS]

October 9, 1909

Mr. Mark Sheridan has in study a new patter song entitled “ Who’s who?” by Wilfred Chandler and Gilbert Wells.  Other recent numbers from the pen of Mr. Chandler have been acquired by Miss Daisy James, Miss Gladys Huxley, and Miss Queenie Finnis.

October 30, 1909

Mr. Mark Sheridan, the “ lion of comedians, “  scored an unparalleled success with his new song, “ Don’t take me home,” at the Canterbury on Monday.  The audience joined in the rousing  and catchy refrain as one man.  Never has a chorus been sung so loudly as was this number at this popular house of entertainment.  Mr. Sheridan is most enthusiastic about its instantaneous success and strongly advises all artists engaged for pantomime to write immediately to the publishers, Messrs. Francis and Day and Hunter, and secure this absolute certain success.

November 6. 1909

At the Oxford, as at the Tivoli, Mark Sheridan, the ever-popular comedian with the style that is all his own, has created a furore with his song “ Don’t take me home.”  This number , which has a very catchy refrain and tricky line in the middle of the chorus, which the audience must take up, has already spread  round London like wildfire.  Needless to say, Mr. Sheridan, who knows how  to sing a chorus song, gives it to his audience in such manner that it is irresistible.  The audience in pit ,circle, stalls and boxes all joined in the chorus, and the applause that greeted him at the finish of his performance was, indeed, flattering. Messrs. Francis and Day are the publishers.

December 18, 1909

Mr. Mark Sheridan’s  great music-hall triumph, “ I do like to be beside the seaside ,”  by J.Glover-Kind, has proved the biggest comedy chorus song in Glasgow, and evokes plaudits  loud and long.  Principal boys  all over the country are applying to Feldman’s for permissions and band parts.

December 25, 1909

The volatile Mark Sheridan has published with Mr. David Day’s firm his song, entitled “ I tell you you don’t know you’re alive,” by R.P. Weston, and another named “ Top hat everytime, “ by J.P. Harrington, E.W.Rogers, and Charles Collins.
