Details |
Bonzo a star turn again in 'From Dover Street to Dixie': the Studdy Curtain at the London Pavilion. He appeared in a Cochran revue, depicting a journey from England to America on a specially designed curtain, shown during the interval after the fire curtain was raised. George Ernest Studdy (1878-1948), was the creator of 'Bonzo', a small dog with saucer-like eyes and indiscriminate breeding who first appeared in the Sketch in 1922. The 'Bonzo' craze swept the world resulting in postcards, annuals, toys and other merchandise. Credit should read: ®Estate of George Studdy/Gresham Marketing Ltd./ILN/Mary Evans
