Ernest C. Rolls was born Ernest Dareweski, and emigrated from Warsaw to England at age 17, and soon afterwards began his theatrical career as a producer. He first came to Australia in 1925 to stage his Aladdin pantomime for J. C. Williamson Limited, and then moved on to work with Rufe Naylor and Benjamin Fuller's company. He later went on to stage a series of cabaret/revues under his own management with limited financial success until he moved to New Zealand and leased a chain of theatres. He again failed to achieve financial success, and subsequently returned to England where he reportedly spent his last years presenting variety shows at English seaside resorts.
