I have a signed photograph of Frank Randle leaning on his car, I think the car was an Armstrong -Sidley taken outside the Hippodrome, I think it's in the 'wartime suitcase', was he the last owner? jambutty, I knew the stage manager the late Harry Curry who used to sing when they had 'technical' problems, to stop the audience stamping their feet, he sang Joseph Locke songs and he was very good. I think the conductor of the orchestra was a man called Baxter he also had a hot food shop near the Spread Eagle pub, selling steak puddings and the like.
