Her main act was she dressed
up in white. Mum used to stand there
in a white-tights thing. It was a real daring thing then,

Mum and she would depict, you know, various famous characters
from history as the slides changed and my dad would be playing the old joanna in the front there
or something like that. So, here we have the original
slides that my grandmother would have performed in front of. I believe they were hand-painted
and, I mean, it's just stunning
