Max Wall's career hit the buffers in the 50s when he left his wife to live with a girl of half his age. No one would book him. He went bankrupt, the girl left, and he was reduced to a bedsit. <br /><br />Wouldn't have the same effect at all today.Labanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12031578024191117985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798741819621608096.post-6441572060849787212010-08-04T14:23:22.167+01:002010-08-04T14:23:22.167+01:00Ah but Malty it was in its death throes then - cin...Ah but Malty it was in its death throes then - cinema, radio and then TV had the pick of the crop.<br /><br />I'm glad to hear the Fringe is so good.

Max Walls career was in it's death throes, a state of affairs it had enjoyed since its inception.<br />The Leeds music hall thing was repetitive beyond belief, 'Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do'. Oh, for f..ks sake.<br />Edinburgh's festival is a goldmine of embryo talent, No1 daughter is once again in mid rehearsal with a budding Ridley Scott. The entire spectrum of theatre is there for all to see, from the sublime to the ridiculous and in these days of manufactured talent a light in the wilderness.maltyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936465848907794425noreply@blogger.com
