| [LAUDER HARRY]: (1870-1950) Scottish Entertainer. A contorted hazlenut walking stick, 35" in length, apparently previously belonging to and used by Lauder, featuring an inset circular metal disc (possibly a 1922 shilling) to the handle, engraved with Lauder's name. Lightly varnished and with some minor age wear, VG £200 - 300 Provenance: The walking stick is accompanied by various typed statements etc., which state that it was presented by Lauder to the American entertainer Danny Kaye in 1949. Apparently Kaye later gave the stick to British comedian Roy Hudd who in turn donated it to a variety auction. Subsequently purchased by an unknown bidder it was then presented to the Merseyside Artists Association, of which Ken Dodd was President, and displayed in their club in Liverpool along with other Music Hall artifacts and ephemera. When the club closed, many of the contents were sold at auction by Cato Crane of Liverpool which is where the current vendor acquired the walking stick in October 2004. Harry Lauder frequently performed in full Scottish regalia, including a kilt, sporran, Tam o'Shanter and a twisted walking stick. Indeed the twisted shrub contorted hazelnut (Corylus avellana contorta) whose parent is the Common Hazel is also frequently referred to as 'Harry Lauder's Walking Stick'. |

In these grim times I am a little diffident about singing a song about a mortuary. I like very much the idea of a Home Guard number, so could you make it less lugubrious. Couldn't he be guarding say, a railway bridge or a water-works?' (4th March 1941), 'With regard to the monologue... [of The Home Guard]...I would like you to re-write it if you don't mind. Whilst I think the present one is funny, it is a little away from the actual subject of the number.
