Comments
Re Dunston Legion show of 1948.
The show was "Sinbad the Sailor". As my mother, Molly Craggs, provided the musical accompaniment I used to attend the rehearsals (I was 10 at the time). The group picture with Mr Prince in Evening dress has Jessie Robinson on his right,who was principal boy;and, on his left was Nelly Marshal. I also remember Hilda Gibson had a role but she's not shown.
The legion hall was packed for all performances.
