Happy days... I am almost certain i've got something on him back in
Ireland, when i was living in Boston, Mass.
this is going back 15 years I got into collecting books
on the theatre, movies and the like mostly 1920's, 30's and 40's all
with an Irish connection (picked up some 1st editions of George Bernard Shaw
there)
anyway once i seen the name it rang a wee bell...
Will check it out when i am back after Christmas.

Does anybody know if he got any press coverage of his trip ???
I have access to the British Llibrary archives at Kings Cross,
I mostly use the India records there, but would love to get more
info on his trip, have ordered the book but until it arrives anybody
got anymore info.
cheers
