Hi, How about those of you who have been successful in tracing your theatrical/entertainment forebears sharing your experiences with the rest of us. Tell us about how and where you found the information. You never know, you just might give somebody that vital piece of information that leads them to solving a problem or two. (It could even be me!!!)

Hi everybody, I have now included a fully functioning 'Search' box on the THEATRE-UK Web site. It's not the most user-friendly, but hey, it was free!!! I have included a link to a page containing brief instructions on how to interpret the search results, but if anyone has any questions regarding its use, let me know.

Hi everybody, I have completed and uploaded another region of the "Entertainment People" extracts from the 1881 Census to the web site. The Greater London Western Counties have now joined the Greater London Eastern Counties and the 1851 Census of Devon, Norfolk and Warwickshire. I am still in the process of trying out various site search tools. If anyone would like to help out with this project, please contact me privately and I'll fill you in on what it entails.

Hi, Does anyone know who Terry's Juveniles were? My wife believes she had twin cousins with the family name of Bowie who were part of the act in the 1930's. TIA Howard Pate, Greenwich, NY, USA.

Hullo, it's Josephine again. The Tenor Singer "BENJOMINO GIGLO", was that really his name? i.e. a comedy act, or was it perhaps Beniamino Gigli, arguably one of the world's greatest tenors? He retired in 1956 and died in 1957 at the age of 67, I didn't know that he had sung in Blackpool. Does your mother remember when, by any chance? For anyone who is interested there is a web site about Gigli http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/1450/gigli.html There are many other sites, but mostly in Italian or German. When he was singing at The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in Tosca, they required a boy soprano to sing the part of the Shepherd Boy. After weeding out the best six of 200, Gigli, himself, auditioned them and chose my second cousin, James Moran, to sing the part. I am a retired opera singer myself, it runs in the family!

Hi Marjorie, Adrienne here, I replied earlier to one of your messages re the Tower Circus. You have the same name as my grandmother had and work at the department store "Hills" well here is another coincidence I was born in Thornton and lived in Cleveleys were my family still live!!!!! Sorry the memories you have of Blackpool are too early for me, but will pass them on to my mum to see if she has many from the 1940's and 50's. She lived in Blackpool. The trams are still going strong from Fleetwood through to Lytham St. Annes and they are still busy especially at Illumination time. The Ice show is still going strong at the Pleasure Beach and is still a spectacular show.

Hi Lauren, From one sand grownan to another (only a local will know what I mean)!! I'm glad I now know the name of Charlies side kick and it definately was "Paul" he used to play the saxaphone beautifully, being born in the 1950's these two and their other side kick the old man who always used to get hurt in the motor car act were my favourite act along with the finale.... oh and the lions in there cage, if you were sat in the front row it was terrifying.!!!! My mum said the Zoo was on the second floor with the walls tiled in white tiles. The smell she says will always hit you at the entrance of the Tower. The story of "ALBERT AND THE LION" was based at Blackpool Zoo (in the Tower) not where it is today on the old Aerodrome by Stanley Park.

Hi listers, Having read some of the listers memories especially Marjorie and Walter's in Nz natives of Cleveleys, my home town. I spoke to my mum (who is still there) of her and my dads memories of around 1940's and 1950's. Spelling might be something to be desired and memories vague, but here goes!! My Mother remembers the SUNDAY CONCERTS held after the war in the PALACE next to the Tower where the Ballroom had glass panels in the floor, "ladies beware". Some artistes she remembers are BENJOMINO GIGLO a tenor singer and IMA SUMAK a peruvian singer who sang a song call "Virgin to the Sun gods". She sang in 3 octaves. JOHNNY WEISMULLER also did a season at the DERBY BATHS after the war where they did sincronized swimming and diving displays. My Grandad TOM WHITE was in charge of "Tony" the band leader on NORTH PIER in the Sun lounge and Pavillion. He was also the assistant Pier manager. My other Grandpa was STEPHAN WIECZOREK (WESTMORE) was the MC in the Ballroom on CENTRAL PIER and assistant behind the stage. He was given "Keyboard style" cufflinks from WINIFRED ATTWELL for looking after her so well and her famous honky tonk piano. My Grandmother Marjorie Westmore was in the booking office of the same pier. LAWRENCE WRIGHT used to present "ON WITH THE SHOW" on the pier and sold sheet music for 6d. from all the hit shows in Blackpool. HENRY HALL was another impressario who put on the shows especially "THOSE WERE THE DAYS" . My parents remember GERTIE GUITANA and GEORGE ELLIOT "the chocolate covered coon" as he announced himself ( which of course today is not politically correct) but in those days there was nothing wrong with it. If anyone else has more memories that might help fellow listers please let us know.

If you can give me your grand-father's name, I'll see if I can track down the recordings he made. I have a collection of Regal-Zonophone catalogues going back to the early 1930s. If I can do that, I'll then be able to give you some contacts who deal in 78 rpm records who may be able to help.
