			<link>http://whirligigtv.yuku.com/topic/4676/t/The-Royal-Hall-Harrogate.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ On a recent visit to my home town of Harrogate, I was delighted to attend the the official open day of the newly refurbished Royal Hall. This magnificent
building had been in a state of disrepair for several years - a typical example of negligence on the part of the council. Now it has been returned to its
former glory and the results are quite stunning. As a child I attended Sooty&#39;s Christmas Show in 1954 and as well as a George Cansdale evening, complete
with exotic animals. Aged... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Does anyone have any memories of the Memorial Theatre in Stratford prior to the forming of the RSC in 1961? I was interested to read today that it was the owner of the brewery 'Flowers' who had given the land to the council in order that a theatre be built there and that the temporary 'Courtyard Theatre' is built on land which was part of the brewery gardens.<br><br>The Memorial Theatre is being totally re-vamped at the moment ensuring that the art deco features can be seen properly.

The days of British Repertory Theatre, either side of WW2 seem to have been almost completely forgotten by the mainstream of history.<br><br>Reading through Fifties theatre magazines and periodicals it appears that every second movie or TV show has unacknowledged roots in a theatre play from those times.<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :soapbox --><img... ]]></description>

Others I recall making the transition successfully include Max Wall and Jimmy Jewell, both with some distinction. Arthur English appeared in &quot;Are You Being Served&quot; for a number of years, though that hardly qualifies for &quot;straight&quot; theatre!!

At first they are very normal but then liven it up a bit and start a sort of jive with the ropes.  Brilliant.  I think it was revived at a Command Performance Show a year or thee back. ]]></description>

It was the first Moss Empire in Britain to close as the winds of change of entertainment swept across the country. <br> Below is a rather &quot;ironic&quot; conclusion by Val Parnell of Sunday Night at the London Palladium fame, who was shamefully planning to sell off all these theatres for their site value, including the London... ]]></description>
