Around the Town No.110


An unconvincing Shakespeare mopes in Stratford, an Edward VII stand-in sups in Norfolk, and French actresses posture in London.

Browse through this cinemagazine offering an earnest but unrecognisable William Shakespeare lookalike in his home town of Stratford. Over the page is an Edward VII imposter in the old King's favourite chair from his local pub in Dersingham village, near Sandringham. Rounding it all off in the fashion section, French actresses Yvonne Printemps and Regina Camier are in town to model the latest trends.
