who left behind 500 published songs.
Russell was a child of the theater.
At six he was singing ballads behind
the footlights, and at eight he was
leading member of a children's opera
company on tour of the cities of Eng
land. At thirteen he went to Italy TO
study with Rossini, and afterward he
was a member of the Italian Opera

composer of The Bohemian Girl"
