associated with the theatrical and film versions of On our selection,

photographs and legal documents. Also featured are theatre programmes, posters
and acting editions of plays. Press cuttings, printed matter and photographs
include numerous theatre personalities. Personal and family correspondence and
memorabilia are also included, notably an extensive collection of draft stories
written by Doreen Bailey.
Biographical Note
Albert Edward (Bert) Bailey was born in Auckland, New Zealand on 11
June, 1868. He was the second son of Christopher Bailey (farmer) and his wife
Harriette Adelaide (née Colgan, later McCathie). In about 1879 his
mother remarried, moved to Sydney and founded a large drapery store. Bert was
educated at the Cleveland Street Public School, then worked as a telegram boy
and at a skating rink before entering vaudeville as a tambourine player and
singer. In 1889, he joined Edmund Duggan Theatrical Company as a comedian in
1900. In1902 he married one of the Companys actresses, Ivy Isobel
Gorrick, daughter of Albert Gorrick, solicitor of Newcastle and Cecilia
(Hillcoat) Gorrick. Their only child Doreen Cecilia Bailey was born in November
1902.
Together Edmund Duggan and Bert Bailey wrote The Squatters
Daughter, a melodrama first produced by William Anderson in 1907. In 1910
Bailey produced a film version, with Duggan playing the bushranger Ben Hall and
Bert himself playing a "new chum". [A 1933 sound copy of this film is held at
ScreenSound Australia].
The partnership of Duggan and Bailey lasted for many years and was
extremely productive. The plays they wrote (sometimes using the combined
pseudonym of Albert Edmunds) included The Man from Outback (1909) and
The Native Born. Their most popular success On Our Selection,
based on the stories of Arthur Hoey Davis (pseudonym Steele Rudd), was first
produced in 1912 and starred Bert Bailey as Dad Rudd. The play was
presented regularly on the Australian stage until the 1930s. In 1920, Bert
Bailey took the play to the Lyric Theatre, London.
To produce On Our Selection in 1912, Bailey went into partnership
with Julius Grant. Basing their company at Andersons Kings
Theatre, Melbourne, they became one of the strongest entrepreneurial
teams in Australian Theatre.
In 1921, Bailey produced Jefferson Wins Through and in 1922
The Sentimental Bloke, based on the poem by C.J. Dennis. Bert Bailey
later took the part of Ginger Mick.
In 1932, Bailey co-directed with Ken G. Hall and starred
in a film version of On Our Selection for Cinesound Studio, Sydney.
During this period (on 24 September 1932), Ivy (Gorrick) Bailey died. Bert and
his daughter Doreen (Tim) left Australia for a short time and toured China and
Japan in late 1932 and early 1933. On Our Selection achieved record
box-office success and three spin-offs followed. All starred Bert Bailey as Dad
Rudd and Fred McDonald as Dave. These films were Grandad Rudd (1935),
Dad and Dave Come to Town (1938) and Dad Rudd MP (1940).
In 1938 Bert and Doreen undertook a promotional tour of New Zealand with
Dad and Dave Come to Town. Bert finally retired in 1940. His hobbies
included sailing and bowls and he was a member of the Savage Club, Melbourne,
Tattersalls and Rose Bay Bowling Club. While working, Bert Baileys home
base was a flat in Darlinghurst in Sydney, and he also owned a country house
Kendal Grange, Lake Macquarie. He died on 30 March 1953 and was
cremated with Anglican rites.
Doreen Bailey (affectionately known as Weet, Weetie or Tim) was born on
13 November 1902 and educated at the Catholic Ladies College, East
Melbourne and at the Church of England College, Baker Street, London, England.
Tim Bailey spent the years (until Bert Baileys death in 1953) as her
fathers close companion, travelling with him on tours with travelling
plays, on location to film sets and on his overseas tours. She was a prolific
writer.
On 8 May 1954 she married Roland Montrose McLean. Tim had several of her
childrens stories published by the Sydney Morning Herald.
The Pictorial Section of the National Library of Australia holds other
Bailey material. See also Edmund Duggans collection at MS 6304.
