just been released from his engagement at the Alhambra theatre in Paris. He returned to make his final appearance on 15 October 1913, before going back to France. As a songwriter, he often worked with lyricists Worton David and Bert Lee, writing the songs "Other Department, Please" (1910), "All the Girls Are Lovely by the Seaside" (1913), and his biggest success, "Hello, Hello, Who's Your Lady Friend?" (1913). In 1912, he acted in a short film, L'entente cordiale, made in Paris with Max Linder. For a time he was married to the French revue performer Alice Delysia. On 31 December 1913, while living at 56 rue Lafayette in Paris, Fragson returned home to discover his mentally ill father Victor Pot was just about to commit suicide. An argument ensued as Pot suspected his son was having an affair with his mistress Paulette Franck. Pot then fatally shot his son. His father died six weeks later in an asylum. More than 50,000 people followed Fragson's hearse to Saint Augustin church. Fragson is buried at Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. Legacy Fragson was perhaps best known in France as a popular pre-World War I entertainer, and introduced hundreds of songs, including "Reviens", "Si Tu Veux...Marguerite", "A La Martinique", "La Baya", "Les Blondes", "les Jaloux", "Amours Fragiles" and "Les Amis De Monsieur". He had an Irving Berlin song, "A Girl In Havana", adapted to "Je Connais Une Blonde" which was popular among World War I soldiers. Upon his death, Fragson left £80,000 in his will.
