not as funny as i thought it might be, but a readable book, probably wouldnt read again

Can't believe no one else has read this fabulous book. If you have any passing interest at all in early movies, laurel and hardy, Chaplin, musical theatre as it passes over to cinema then you simply must read this. A great story and fantastic characters, both humorous and tragic in equal measure, it makes you want to go back to Edwardian times and expertise for yourself. Outstanding.
