The Sid Field Tribute (Program for the show at the London Palladium, 25th June 1951)

The Sid Field Tribute (Program for the show at the London Palladium, 25th June 1951) SUPER RARE program for the variety show held at the London Palladium. Field loved entertaining people, sometimes with impersonations and other forms of humor. The revival of variety theatre in the late 1910s and early 1920s allowed the young Field to become a master of sketch comedy and dialect. He worked as a comedian in regional music halls for nearly 30 years before becoming an overnight star following a role in London's West End. He appeared at the Royal Variety Performances in 1945 and 1946 but unfortunately died in Field inspired a generation of comedians. The tribute featured major stars of the day from both sides of the pond: Tommy Trinder, Arthur Askey, Judy Garland, Laurence OLivier, Douglas Fairbanks jr,Danny Kaye, Vivien Leigh, Orson Welles etc etc "COVER CREASE, COVER DETACHED , TEARS, INSIDE CLEAN AND TIGHT OTHERWISE".
