George Sorlie was born on 7 February 1885 in Liverpool of West Indian ancestry. He came to Australia as a child and began his stage career at the age of 14. He married Grace Stewart, a budding young Australian dramatic actress in 1915. In 1917 they joined Philip Lytton's touring tent show. In 1923 George bought the show and renamed it Sorlie's. In the early days it was travelling dramatic theatre, but from 1931 it featured vaudeville and variety. George Sorlie retired in 1945 and died on 19 June 1948. His widow Grace and Bobby Le Brun took the tent show on the road again from 1949 to 1961.
