Maggie was a very famous Australian Dancer who featured in many pantomimes. I wrote an article about her many years ago and in response received a letter from Dr Tony Gough, whose mother performed with Maggie.
Dr Gough also sent some prints which I rediscovered in a drawer this weekend.
Dr Gough's mother, Nancy Chapman aka Nancy Leigh, performed with Maggie as one of the Whirl of Girls pictured above.
I also found some prints of Australian entrepreneur Harry Clay, which were given to me many years ago by one of his descendants.
Harry Clay managed many small vaudeville theatres in the Sydney suburbs during the early 20th Century, including one which sat where the old Newtown Hub theatre was.
These are beautiful pictures and I am very grateful that people shared them with me.
I really should clean up more often.
