Enid Blyton went along to The Scala Theatre to choose Londons youngest leading man
Enid Blyton went along to The Scala Theatre to choose Londons youngest leading man. She watched scores of boys sing a song and recite a piece of dialogue. They were trying for the lead part of " Noddy" for the Christmas run at the theatre of " Noddy in Toyland". The little lad who got the job was Carlo Cura from the Italia Conte School.
***Note to Editors*** the young lady in this picture is not Id d. However, in theory she has been chosen to play the part of Silky in the December 1962 production. According to other sources on the internet, a lady called
Elaine Millar played that part. So you can deduce the lady in this picture is Elaine Millar. But, approach with caution incase there was a last minute casting switch and the Elaine Millar who starred in the play, is not the same person who passed this auction in this picture a few weeks earlier***
