Edwin Milton Royle(1862-1942)

Father of actress Selena Royle.

The orchestra's place is filled by pianists who labor industriously five hours a day each. As they practically live at the piano, their knowledge of current music and their adaptability and skill are often surprising, but they are the most universally abused men I ever met. Everyone who comes off the stage Monday afternoon says of the pianist that he ruins their songs, he spoils their acts, he has sinister designs on their popularity, and he wishes to wreck their future.
