I have the same problem, but not in London. My mother was a "Variety Artiste" on her marriage cert in 1943. I have an autograph book which shows many of the people she performed with---sadly none of them famous!--and dates and theatres. But these are just hard facts. I too would love more info but none of the named theatres have any relevant archives. The area was South Shields, Gateshead, Newcastle and also further south if anyone is interested. She was with the Leon Dodd Production Co. Wendy
