[Starring] Clifford Stanton
After spending ten years in South Africa ranching and prospecting for gold, Clifford Stanton came to England to learn electrical engineering. Before the four years' apprenticeship was over, however, he was sacked for paying too much attention to the theatre. His first engagement was as a super at thirty shillings a week in a Shakespearean company in the West End. Three years later he became stage manager to Arthur Prince, the ventriloquist, and it was the latter who encouraged him to launch an act of his own.
