Past pantos.

Oh, Harrigran, do tell me more, please!!!

I really don't know anything about Dorothy Ward other than she was an actress and singer and her husband used to play a pantomime Dame but here is a photo I found of her, very fetching.

I was reading the life story of Tony Hancock and it mentioned some friends of Dorothys (Vert and Doris...Cecily courtnidde)that's what reminded me of Aunt Dorothy This Kindle and its predictive texting drives me crazy!

Oh, thank you, Harrigran! Yes, she was known to have very good legs! (Fat, by today's standard!) My mum had nice legs, but mine are awful, but as they work, I don't care anymore. Her husband got royalties for "If You're Irish, Come into the parlour) it's all rubbish really because all these years later, there's no good legacy from it all. All I've got from her is my face (like a saucepan lid) , no living relatives, and a dubious heritage! And some anecdotes.

My mum always used to say that "when big aunty Dorothy dies, we,'ll be okay!" That's how we referred to her! But all mum got was a measly £50! So did my sister, because she was always very extrovert and showy! Well, this has been fun for me!

Find a musical - my children went down to London every year with me by coach and saw all the famous shows - they loved it all and knew every word of each one! Joseph and the Amazing etc is very popular with young ones.

I took a group of deprived 11 and 12 year olds to see it and they were ecstatic!

Would love to take some kids to the theatre! Does anyone remember seeing "Hair"? Loves the songs and bought an old 'll of it. Was shocked at the nude scene. I remember princess Anne saw it twice,
