Champagne Charlie (play)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Champagne Charlie is a play in which George Lemon, a popular actor, and The Great Vance, his rival, attempt to out-do the other with drinking songs (a little like some modern rap performances), and this turns into a feud.
In this it reflects the 1860s London music hall rivalry between George Leybourne and Alfred Vance.
A 1944 film was made based on this play, starring Stanley Holloway and Tommy Trinder, and directed by Alberto Cavalcanti.
