London Palladium – These Foolish Things – 1920s

About this These Foolish Things theatre programme

A programme from The London Palladium for These Foolish Things, with Eileen Bell, Chesney Allen, Bud Flanagan and Charlie Naughton. Flanagan, Allen and Naughton were members of the Crazy Gang, the anarchic troupe of comedians whose madcap Palladium shows of sketches, pranks and songs drew huge crowds. A lovely souvenir of British comedy royalty, this is a popular piece among old theatre programmes from the Palladium.
