"The Burglar" 1969 Directed by
Frank Dunlop Vaudeville
Theatre, London
Reviewer Stewart Lane
Morning Star
"The saving feature of the evening was Jim Dale, proving himself once
again a comedy actor with energy and talent. Perhaps one day his full
potentialities will be properly exploited and extended: when that day comes we
could well find ourselves with a young-generation star."
Reviewer Dorothy Newton Sheffield Telegraph
"Jim Dale as the burglar is the undoubted star of this piece - he has to be
weak, wary, with short sight and stumbling gait. In other words, a Laurel sans
Hardy."
