STAN LAUREL - Stage by Stage

by A.J Marriot

Stan Laurel Stage by Stage by A.J Marriot.

LAUREL - Stage by Stage - is the prequel to 'A.J' Marriot's  books: Laurel & Hardy's 'British Tours'; 'US Tours;' and 'European Tours;' and a companion to CHAPLIN Stage by Stage. It narrates all of Stan Laurel's stage shows, from his earliest appearances in British pantomime (as Stanley Jefferson), right up to his last-ever stage show before entering films.
Along the way he spends over three years touring with Charlie Chaplin, in the Fred Karno Company. The next eight years are spent touring in US vaudeville, playing in song-dance-and-comedy sketch acts with various partners.
Readers will experience every low and high as this comic genius tries to unshackle himself from the hardship and tedium of vaudeville, during a number of attempts to get into the world of film comedy. The amount of detail revealed about these 'lost' tours is astounding.
Read, and be amazed!
