Seeing Great Grandma was a dancer it is no surprise to find my Grandpa was in shows and silent films. He helped Great Grandma Rosetta in a mind reading act in a music hall for a while. Then as I just said on someone's post he had a part in a show called "the Mummingbirds"at the same time as the young Charlie Chaplin. Once, he had a part in a cowboy film. He was supposed to mime punching another cowboy. Only he forgot he was acting and knocked the other guy out. Had he not been gassed twice in the first world war I wonder what his carreer would have been.

I'm sure an enthusiastic cowboy like that could have gone far.

Sadly,like for many young men,once the war came they never found their way back to their original dreams. He did work for Creeds of Croydon eventually. That was a forerunner of the kind of communication we have today.
