Brahms and S. J. Simon..
The Alm is less enttric than the book, but it presents a charming spectacle of Edwardian London, with its Galeiy Girls and Stage Door Johnnies, la ploncer balloonists, and the now out- moded elegance of the London Season. This is a theme for which Technicalour” is essential, and Director Brian Hurst has provkled a rich feast for the eye, writes Joan Littlefield.
Trottie, as readers of the book will remember, rises, via the Dedford Music Hall at Camden Town, London, to a leading part in a George Edwardes musical comedy on tour. Eventual- ly she reaches that mecca of all the ambitious beauties of the time, London's Galety Theatre.
