About this Item

1941. 4pp/1folded sheet. Very Good/None. Pictorial cover with minor rubbing/chipping to edges and spine, a little soiling/creasing/spotting. Inside clean. Cover features B&W photo of one of Music Hall?s most famous pairings, Wee Georgie Wood and his Stage mother, Dolly Harmer. From 1917 until their joint retirement in 1953, George and Dolly created an off and on-stage partnership that lasted for over 35 years. During this time they played throughout the British Empire, and topped the bills in every music hall and variety theatre in the land. They first performed together in 1917 in a stage play entitled 'Some Detective'. At this time Wee Georgie Wood was 20 and a major star in Music Hall. At 19, he was told that he would never grow any taller and, at 4'9" he remained the eternal schoolboy. George Wood spent most of his life loathing his 'Wee' Georgie Wood billing, however the title stuck, and he spent his adult life turning his disability into a very lucrative career. In over 40 sketches Dolly played George?s mother Mrs Robinson in titles such as 'Thicker Than Water', 'Mrs Robinson & her Son', 'The Black Hand Gang' and 'Funny Go Round'. In all they performed over 40 different sketches, transferring their stage sketch into a film in 1930. Scarce. Seller Inventory # 004864
