The squares of a chessboard become a blur as the camera is flung sideways as the shutter opens. It’s the chessboard in Crosshaven, not that you’d recognise it from the photo!
Laurel & Hardy visited Cobh in Co. Cork today, exactly 70 years after they last visited in 1953! The two gentlemen are looking exceedingly well for their age, I’m sure you’ll agree. They put on a fine show, doing several sketches and singing a few favourites and doing a dance. Lucky Dog Theatre Productions were…
