LAUREL and HARDY - The British Tours (part 2)

Second Edition - Extensively revised, reformatted and expanded. This engaging book is the story of the love which the British and Irish retained for these two comedy legends after the USA had turned its back on them, and how they adapted from film- to stage-work, and survived through the changing modes of comedy, and the changing moods of theatre audiences. Readers are given a full account of the theatres they played, the acts they worked with, their travel arrangements; the hotels at which they stayed; the people they met; and their many public appearances - all complemented by scores of rare photographs from these tours. - 208 pages - 265 illustrations
