I said MARY Pickford not MARK Pickford. Did you mean Mark or Mary?

Anyway as for Herbert Marshall, well:

Herbert Marshall spent a chunk of his time WWII involved in running Unity Theatre, with Una Brandon-Jones. (Herbert Marshall's papers in the University Of Southern Illinois include some correspondence to that effect - alos among his papers is a copy of one of Una's song-lyrics, 'It's A Girl' - see also http://www.qsulis.demon.co.uk/Website_Louise_Gold/Its_A_Girl.htm)
In the 1980s, Una Bradon-Jones went on to write material for and direct The Fall Out Group (which had many ex-Unity Theatre people involved in it , and anyone else should could rope in, including her own girl). On at least one occassion Louise Gold appeard in a Fall Out Group show (which Una directed).
And of course Louise Gold has puppeteered on TMS and various Muppet films, on which Jim Henson or Steve Whitmire performed Kermit The Frog.

Next er
Richard Temple.
