After leaving school he studied music and sometimes sang at concerts . At one of these , in 1930 , he was heard by Edward Branscombe , an English entrepreneur responsible for bringing Maud Allan , X Sousa's Band , the Scarlet Dandies , and the Cherniavsky Trio on Australasian tours . Having “ discovered ” Max Øldaker , Branscombe , who was piloting the Westminster Glee Singers on a world tour , invited him to join the company of which , in 1930 , Wilfred Thomas was also a member . Max Oldaker , therefore , after a professional début at the Palace Theatre , Sydney , travelled with the Glee Singers to Peking . In the Yellow Sea the ship was trapped in pack - ice , through which it laboriously ploughed towards an opening night in Tientsin . The Glee Singers returned south by the Shanghai Express which , in those pre - Communist days , was crammed with wealthy Chinese in fur - lined robes who expectorated copiously in the elaborate spittoons in the dining car . Max Oldaker was stranded in Singapore , “ the actors ' graveyard ” . He reached England with £ 8 .
