Daisy Dormer (16 January 1883 – 13 September 1947), born Kezia Beatrice Stockwell,[1] was an English music hall singer born in Southsea on 16th January 1883.
A pretty, waif-like presence, she was famous for singing "After the Ball is Over" among other songs. "After the Ball is Over", which was written by Charles K. Harris, helped to establish Tin Pan Alley in the 1890s. The sheet music sold over five million copies in the 1890s.[1]
In 1935, Dormer had a character part in the film City of Beautiful Nonsense.
Dormer died on 13th September 1947. She was cremated at Streatham Park Cemetery and her ashes were interred in the rose garden.
