D.C. Boonzaier (1923) lists what he calls a play, by an unnamed author, called Dear Old Dad, among the works he remembers seeing in Cape Town in 1903. This one featured the "world-renowned actor-musician" Auguste van Biene.

Only two works with (approximately) this title can be found in the early 20th century: a descriptive American march ballad called "Dear Old Dad"[1] by Joe Bren (Composer) and Louise Shattner (Lyricist), published in 1906, and a short comic film called Betty Fools Dear Old Dad (1912)[2].
