Mighty Dictator

Kenneth St. Bernard (c. 1920s – 19 December 2002), known as Dictator or Mighty Dictator, was a Trinidadian calypso singer and musician.

By the late 1940s, St. Bernard was a prominent composer and performer of calypso songs, including "The Female Cricketer" (1948), "The Tobago Girl and the Mirror", "Negroes Keep Together" (both 1949), and "My Trip to Hollywood" (1950).[1] In 1950, the song "Last Train to San Fernando", which he performed and co-wrote, was played in the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival Road March. Later recorded by The Duke of Iron, it became a skiffle hit in Britain when recorded by Johnny Duncan.[2][3] His later recordings included "Chinese Cricket Match" (1956).[4] Dictator was one of six calypso performers presented to Princess Margaret in 1956.[1]

He died in Trinidad on 19 December 2002.[5]

1910s in Western fashion

Costume and fashion in the 1910s Fashion from 1910 to 1919 in the Western world was characterized by a rich and exotic opulence in the first half of the decade in contrast with the somber practicality of garments worn during the Great War. Men's trousers were worn cuffed to ankle-length and creased. Skirts rose from floor length to well above the ankle, women began to bob their hair, and the stage was set for the radical new fashions associated with the Jazz Age of the 1920s.[1][2...
