Their daughter, Lalla Selbini, also enters show business and she becomes even more famous.

In addition to Kate, Jack and Lily Selbini, and Lalla, details are also given of the lives of Kate’s other children and of the lives of Jack and Lily Selbini’s other children. The book also covers the lives of other artistes who have been involved with the family. It gives partial biographies of Frank and Annie Chatters, Henry Flowerday, Frank Elton (Lorenzi), Archie Royer, Willy Pantzer, the Great Lafayette, Bert Nagle, and William Prati (Selbini).
