Description: | The advetisement outside the pub is for the musical Blue for a Blue. It was written in 1950 by Harry Parr Davies, to exploit the cigar-smoking, majestically built comedy star Fred Emney. Dressed in blue baby rompers, indicating what sort of show it was going to be, Emney was the mischievous and large stepson who chooses his stepfathers wedding anniversary to make the poor fellows new wife aware of his existence. Harold Purcell added his lyrics to a Harry Parr Davies song and they wrote together a title number for Blue For A Boy which became a popular song of the of the day. | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | North East Midland Photographic Record | Source: | Picture the Past OAI feed | Creator: | Shaw, N | Identifier: | http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/fronten... | Language: | EN-GB | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | Go to resource |
