Douglas Fetherston was a violinist, born in London, Ontario. At age 16, he travelled across Canada to Vancouver, playing in concerts and recitals along the way. In Vancouver, he studied with Holroyd Paull. After his marriage to Katherine McHugh in 1915, he returned to London, where he became the musical director at both the Patricia Theatre and Loew's Theatre (later renamed the Century Theatre). He also performed in the Toronto Symphony Orchestra for over thirty years, from 1931 to 1962.
