Sunday 13

Went to Joyce Hulmes but she was not in so we went a bus ride home. Went to see "Prison Mutiny"

Lark Lane 3380

Who was Joyce Hulme? Mum never mentioned her, she told us all about different friends she had growing up but not Joyce. I think she may have worked with her.

Imagine my delight when looking through mum's photos I came across this tatty photo and on the back it says 

Joyce Hulme. 20 Chesterton Street, Garston'

It was taken by a professional photographer - Geo. Robb, 34, Arnold Street, Liverpool 8.

This week's films ....

"It's a Pleasure" a 1945 romantic musical in glorious technicolour about an ice hockey player who is banned due to hitting a referee and is an alcoholic. The usual girl meets boy, boy steps back so she can find fame etc etc

"Prison  Mutiny"  1943 black and white movie who tries to rehabilitate a rich playboy who is doing time but reckons he is innocent. It is a B-movie crime drama and if you like this sort of thing apparently it is a good one - I found link to the movie on You Tube if you fancy it
