Picture Archive 1950
From the Bulletin & Scots Pictorial 1 April 1950 |
A Scottish moustache has made good in London! It is the Prime Handlebar of 1950. The man who has brought the title to Scotland is artist John Roy, a native of Glasgow. His 11¼ inches of ginger glory beat by two inches Sassenach Alan Gear's moustache. Here John (right) celebrates his success with the club's vice-president, "Professor" Jimmy Edwards, of the "Take It from Here" show. |

while Raymond Glendenning and Jimmy Edwards are to the left.
Another photograph from the same era.
