Sir, – I am writing to you with regard to the wonderful photograph of Jack Cruise, Sean Mooney and Frank Howard on the inside of the back page of your Magazine ("The Times We Lived In", January 17th). To say that it inspired feelings of deep nostalgia for the great times of variety shows in Dublin would be an understatement. A time when nobody had a shilling in their pocket and the word austerity had not entered our vocabulary. However the Frank in question was not Frankie Howerd but was our own Frankie Howard, a man of infinite jest, who entertained us regally in those dark days. – Yours, etc,
SEAMUS MULLEN,
Dún Laoghaire,
Co Dublin.
