The couple were Arthur Lucan and Kitty Mcshane I think there was a link on here about them at some stage, I hope I got the spelling rite. Very well known they were Vera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buck Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 They were very popular in the forties, along with Frank Randall and George Formby. I think they were husband and wife, both from Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazel Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I'm sure I used to go to see Old Mother Riley and her daughter Kitty at the Pictures. Slapstick comedy which made me laugh at the time and I'm sure wouldn't now. Hazel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tara Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 nitelife40, you havent got anything on danny ross have you. He also appeared in just one mother riley film but unobtainable even on ebay. Danny ross as you know played the bumbling alfie hall on the radio show(clitheroe kid) and in the film the love match which i managed to obtain.
