The interviewer, Wilfred Pickles

Here is a King Pin of Comedy that nobody yet has been able to knock over. This grand old comedian 88 years of age, will be remembered by all who are old enough to have heard him in his hey-day as 'The Man who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo'. In his seventieth year he walked from London to Land's End; from London to Glasgow; from London to the East Coast and back; and from London to John O'Groats. He also covered many shorter distances in the United Kingdom, aggregating a total of over 3,200 miles, giving recitals all the way.
