Hans von Holstein, better known as Monte Carlo (14 July 1883 — 9 June 1967), was a Danish-born American Broadway composer and author.[1]

Life

Von Holstein was born in Skamlingsbanken,[1] Gravenstein,[3] Denmark, on 14 July 1883.[2]

He came to the U.S. in 1906 to avoid studying medicine.[1] He changed his name to Hans Carlo, and soon began using Monte Carlo as his name. He became a naturalized US citizen in 1914. He received pre-medical training in Chicago, with songwriting as chief avocation. He started writing music with Alma Sanders, whom he met at Jerome H. Remick's music publishing firm.[1] She eventually became his wife.[3] They collaborated on a number of shows and a large number of songs.[2] He joined the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers in 1923.[4]

In 1930, he was living with his wife at 10 Williams Avenue in Mount Vernon, New York.[5] In 1942, he was living at 145 West 55th Street, New York.[6]

After the death of his wife in 1956, he moved to Houston, Texas.[7] There he became vice-president of Carsen Music Publishing, founded by his step-son, Edward C. Benjamin Sr.[4] He died in Houston on June 9, 1967.[4][8]
