Description: | Jack Buchanan, an actor, manager and producer, made his stage debut in 1912, and by 1922 was in management on his own account, producing and starring in a string of musical comedies. Buchanan was a leading musical comedy star, often starring in his own stage productions and in the films made from them.
This collection comprises the material amassed by Michael Marshall for his biography of Buchanan (Top hat & tails: the story of Jack Buchanan. London, Elm Tree Books. 1978). Some of the playscripts were probably never performed or produced by Buchanan.
