London Palladium Theatre – Norman Wisdom – 1954
An original programme for a variety show at the Palladium Theatre, London, in 1954, starring Norman Wisdom. Also on the bill are Bob Williams, Jerry Desmonde and Osborn Whitaker.
Wisdom was then riding high after his first starring film, Trouble in Store (1953), which made him one of Britain’s biggest box office draws.
Palladium bills from the 1950s are a favourite with collectors, and this is a lovely piece of theatre memorabilia for any Norman Wisdom fan.
