Biography
Charles Coborn (1852-1945), born Colin McCallum, appeared in music halls in the United Kingdom from 1872 until shortly before his death in 1945. His reputation as a singer and comedian rests largely on his signature songs: Two Lovely Black Eyes, which he adapted from an existing song in 1886, and the sing-along The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo, written by Fred Gilbert in 1891. Coborn also campaigned for improved working conditions in music halls and helped to form the Music Hall Artists' Association in and the Music Hall Benevolent Fund.
