EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print from April 17th, 1975, we see the grand old man of comedy himself, Arthur Askey. Known for his infectious humor and undeniable talent, Askey is captured here alongside the beloved actress Liz Larner. Famous for her role in BBC's Up Pompeii, Larner adds a touch of glamour to this snapshot. On that particular day, Askey paid a surprise visit to the Theatre Royal in Newcastle to uplift the spirits of the cast performing in the Gang Show. The atmosphere is filled with affectionate camaraderie as a medium-sized group of people from various age ranges gather around him. Their smiles are contagious and their joy radiates through the photograph. Askey sits comfortably among his fellow actors and actresses on stage, donning his signature glasses that have become synonymous with his comedic persona. His presence alone brings an air of excitement and anticipation as they pose together for this memorable shot. This image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when live theater was at its peak. It serves as a reminder of how entertainment can bring people together and create lasting memories. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this nostalgic piece transports us back to an enchanting evening where laughter echoed through every corner of the theater - all thanks to one extraordinary man who dedicated his life to making others smile.
