HELP REQUIRED !!!!
The late Jane Russell played one of the local Keighley Clubs in the 1960s.
The Keighley News cuttings on her appearance are no longer available.
Can anyone recollect her appearing in the Keighley area??
If so, could you divulge the details, please ??

Extracted from a blog regardiing Jane Russell
"In the 1960s after her film career had more or less ended she did a tour of variety clubs in the UK including many small town, down-market establishments. In each town, she made a point of visiting the local hospital and particularly the men's surgical wards. OK, it was partly for publicity but she didn't have to do it and the boost to morale of the patients was amazing as I can testify as my father was in Keighley hospital at the time."
