Some additional information

Sent to me from a friend who I haven’t seen for 40 years. Em and her partner and we lived in adjoining thatched cottages in a Devon Hamlet many moons ago. We have kept in touch and the internet has played a significant part in our regular exchanges. Em often sends me information for which I am truly grateful. This time it related to the reply to a letter that my grandpa Charles sent to a vaudeville performer complaining about a perceived slur the man had made against the Jewish people. I put the letter in a blog I posted on Thursday night to mark the yahrzeit of my grandpa. I couldn’t read the performer’s signature but Em did and correctly told me that it was Stanley Lupino, father of his much more famous daughter Ida Lupino. Here is the letter again with links to both Stanley and Ida Lupino
