Arthur Brough Players Excerpts

Roll the credits

A FORMER member of the once popular Arthur Brough Players at the Leas Pavilion theatre which used to draw large audiences, Julie Deller tells of some of her experiences in this month’s edition of Bygone Kent, which has been a ‘must buy’ for hundreds of local history enthusiasts for 20 years.

Julie joined the Players in 1951 when every summer there would be ‘Full House’ notices up outside the tiny theatre.

But despite pleas from various quarters to get him to persuade directors to enlarge the auditorium to accommodate a bigger audience Arthur, says, Julie, knew from personal experience this would not be justified in the winter months.

Arthur Brough also opened a rep, in the Palace, at Maidstone, in 1953, Coronation year, the idea being to interchange productions with the Leas Pavilion, with an increased number of actors.

Plays, she said, were good, tried and tested, with good casts; Heather Chasen the leading lady and Douglas Rye leading man. Heather went on to play later in The Severed Head in London’s West End and in The Navy Lark with the BBC.

A number of actors launched their careers at the Leas Pavilion. Alistair Sim played there, as did David Tomlinson, a Folkestone boy, and Peter Barkworth who has made the town his home and is active in the Metropole Arts programmes.

But television was beginning to capture audiences, which could result in half-empty ‘houses.’ However, the theatre received a boost in 1952 when the BBC televised the play “Over the Garden Wall” from the Leas Pavilion. It was quite a family affair, as Arthur Brough’s partner Elizabeth Addyman had written the play.

Julie Deller recalls her modest contribution was to roll the credits at the end - using a rather makeshift affair she describes as being like a small mangle!

She also recalls the contribution made to productions by local man Peter Walter, who had been honoured for his bravado in the war in driving a tank into enemy lines. He took leading roles season after season and but for family and loyalty to the Broughs, would surely have gone on to greater things in London.

He was, says Julie, “a brilliant player of comedy and farce.”

It was Peter’s brother who founded the well known Walters shoe shops, with branches in Ashford, Dover, Deal, Folkestone and Maidstone.

1950

“Mrs Brough” has first play at the Leas Pavilion.

One of the Brough husband and wife partnership behind, the Arthur Brough Players, who entertained for years in the Leas Pavilion theatre, Elizabeth Addyman had her first play, Fortunes in a Teacup, performed at the Leas.

1950

The Brough theatre partnership of Arthur Brough and his wife Elizabeth Addyman, heading a company long known as the Brough Players, was celebrating 21 years of repertory in Folkestone at the Leas Pavilion. They started off with a capital of £50. which was all they had, and ran a successful little theatre for years. The achievement was detailed in a lengthy feature in the Herald, naming particularly stage manager Bert Mason, who estimated he built 1.500 sets in 21 years.

1978

Folkestone joined with thousands of people across the country to mourn the passing of the famous "Are You Being Served?" personality Mr Granger, the well known actor Arthur Brough, 73, who lived and worked in the town many years. Arthur - real name Frederick Baker - who also starred in the "Dad's Army" series, died at his Marlborough Court flat, in Folkestone, only a few months after the death of Elizabeth Addyman, his wife and stage partner of 40 years.
