He toured extensively and performed in New York City and Toronto in 1900. Described as a 'literate man of high principles', he was never fully accepted by the music hall establishment, but undertook much charitable work in the First World War and later in efforts to improve the conditions of music hall entertainers. He continued to make occasional appearances, including a performance in the 1943 film Variety Jubilee at the age of 91. He died in London in 1945. He is buried with his wife in Brompton Cemetery, London. Recordings that he made in the 1920s can be found on the Chairman's Choice – Music Hall Greats album.
