Archibald Joyce (25 May 1873–22 March 1963, age 89) conducted a salon orchestra in Great Britain in the Edwardian era that was so fashionable for balls and dances that he was known as the "English Waltz King",[1] conducting "the first modern dance band in Britain"[2] His most familiar waltzes are "Dreaming",[3] "Songe d'Automne" ("Autumn Dream") and "A Thousand Kisses", which Charlie Chaplin incorporated into the sound track he added to his silent classic The Gold Rush. <a href="https://www.last
