Comments from Denis:
"Photograph shows the entire cast of a concert held in
the large Sunday School Hall at the Baptist Chapel I would think around
1951/2. It was an ambitious show produced and
directed by Mr Pullan, the Sunday School Superintendant at the time.
The photograph gives a clue to the theme of the show - the Wild West
and a one act play entitled 'The Hotel Riposo'.
I don't remember much about the plot of the play in which I had the
juvenile male lead, can't even remember who was I was playing opposite,
but I do recall a few of the lines which I had to utter - I thought
that they would come in useful at some later date. 'All my life I have
worshipped you from afar! At night I stand outside your house and
watch your beloved shadow on the blind! Then it was romance - nowadays
I'd be arrested as a stalker!"
