A 'puppet show' for children

Probably performed during the 1920's, the show is clearly for children and at a guess for their daughter June and her cousins.

Some Reviews

Other newspaper articles record George's performances, for example in Hastings in 1911, as Abanazer in Aladin at the Croydon Hippodrome in 1914 ("direct from his triumph as Mr Bronson in the Belle of New York at the Aldwych Theatre"), etc.

George's Father - Edward John Story

"Edward John Story [Gofton to be] was born at Elswick Row, Newcastle on 31 July 1845. ... throughout his life he performed as an actor and singer. He managed a number of touring companies both in this country and overseas. At the beginning of the 1890s he was performing Shakespeare and other plays in Africa; in 1893 he returned to Newcastle to direct Cinderella at Tyne Theatre (where he had been the manager for a number of years previously), and the new year of 1898 found him at the Theatre Royal, Sydney, Australia. At the turn of the twentieth century moving pictures were developing fast and Story-Gofton appeared in a number of them between 1913 and 1922."
