Screen comedian in Rochdale

Stanley Lupino, the famous stage and screen comedian, paid a visit to Rochdale on Monday afternoon and attended the matinee performance at the Regal Cinema where the film 'Hold My Hand' in which he appears is being shown this week. There were not many people outside the cinema when he arrived, but the ovation he got when he appeared on stage after the completion of the film was an indication that his visit to Rochdale was much appreciated.
