Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

My mum worked as a telephonist at the Davis Theatre, probably in the 1960s, and I used to go and meet her there. I remember watching 'Giselle' performed by Galina Ulonova and Nikelei Fediachev (sp?) of the Bolshoi Ballet. I think it was on stage but it could have been a movie. I also met Eileen Joyce the pianist and Mum came home one day with a signed copy of her book which I still have.

RE: RE: My Mum

Was definately on stage, my late Aunt Bessie Hill went to see it, I saw the programme she had of the ballet. It's a pity that she never gave it to me, but I remember her saying it was the most wonderful ballet she had ever seen...before my time of course.
