Subject: George Formby Snr interesting fact From: Big Al Whittle Date: 23 Jun 19 - 09:02 AM Just reading the biography of George. Apparently George Snr got his first big break courtesy of Belle Elmore (Dr Crippen's wife)/. She got him his first London agent. Experts weren't really expecting George's act to work with southern audiences, but apparently, it did really well. Starting the Formby fortune. |
