World War One / Re: concert parties

hi Kate
I found your old posting about concert parties and note with delight that you have identified over 750 around the time of WW1. My grandmother was with a troupe called Harry Hart/Harte's Concert Party, probably mostly working in Essex. She came from the east London/Essex borders. Her hey day was probably a bit later than your period 1924-1934. Her stage name we think was Alma May and she was a Pierrot. I am wondering if you have come across the name of the troupe in your research, or if you can point me in the direction of a good place to start looking for further information, or even a good book. Good luck with your research!
