Agnes Fraser Elder Fraser Smith was born on 8 November 1876, in Springfield. She was a Scottish actress and soprano who appeared in the later Savoy Operas and in Edwardian musical comedy. She married the Gilbert and Sullivan performer Walter Passmore, with whom she frequently appeared on stage. Fraser made her professional début with a D'Oyly Carte Opera Company touring company in the chorus of The Vicar of Bray, The Lucky Star and Haddon Hall from December 1898 to September 1899. She then moved to the main D'Oyly Carte company at the Savoy Theatre in London, where she appeared in The Rose of Persia, 1899 to 1900), taking over the small role of Blush-of-Morning from Isabel Jay, and occasionally playing the lead role of the Sultana during Jay's temporary absence; the 1900 revival of The Pirates of Penzance as Isabel, understudying Jay as Mabel and going on in that role in September 1900; the revival of Patience as Lady Ella, 1900 to 1901; The Emerald Isle as Kathleen, occasionally going on for Jay as Lady Rose Pippin in 1901; the first revival of Iolanthe as Celia in 1901; and The Willow Pattern as Ah Mee, 1901 to 1902. When Isabel Jay left the company, Fraser replaced her as the lead soprano, originating the role of Bessie Throckmorton in Merrie England at the Savoy Theatre in 1902 and then on tour. Her last role at the Savoy was Kenna in A Princess of Kensington, from January 1903, and on tour until September. By 1939 she was living a rather more modest retirement life with her husband and stockbroker son John Passmore at Heath Mews at The Mount in Hampstead, London, Wngland. Fraser died in London in 1968.. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March, ending on Tuesday 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, spring will start on Tuesday 1st March.
