1945, produced some of the most difficult times for theatre and pantomime. In 
the early days of the war in 1940 it looked as if all places of public 
entertainment would be closed indefinitely, and one by one the country’s 
theatres opened their doors, and the world of pantomime existed as a glittering 
escape from the streets ravaged by nightly air raids and austere conditions at 
home and abroad.</FONT></p> <P align="justify" class="MsoNormal"> </p> <P align="justify" class="MsoNormal">
		<FONT face="Arial Unicode MS">It was an era of great producers and performers. They had 
survived the onslaught of the cinema, and, in these pre-television days, drew 
from the popular radio shows and variety shows to provide some of the greatest 
pantomime stars.</FONT></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.its-behind-you.com/fortiespantomime.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.its-behind-you.com/img/FB1245A6-2191-4E90-B832-328DC039027C" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.its-behind-you.com/fortiespantomime.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.its-behind-you.com/img/A0D20A0C-081D-4C59-AE4E-9350E89CB212" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/775F2F78-9C4F-48B6-9107-29247585EB1C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
