Here is the final scene of "Sleeping Beauty", as presented in the mid-1930s in the new Keighley Girls' Grammar School assembly-hall by pupils of a junior department which at that time also taught boys.

The photograph has been supplied by Mr Keith Marsden of Laycock. He identifies the left-hand standing girl as Keighley's future television comedienne Mollie Sugden, who was to gravitate to the professional stage via Sunday School plays and a local wartime concert party, The Good Companions.

The Sleeping Beauty was Elizabeth Hood, daughter of the Rev Canon J C F Hood, then Rector of Keighley.

Mr Marsden himself was the Prince kneeling at her head holding a plumed hat. "The kiss I gave her," he recalls, "would have wakened anybody up".

A very well-known figure on the local stage, he comments that the forthcoming "Cinderella" in the Victoria Hall will be the fortieth Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society pantomime which he has either produced or appeared in.
