In 1930 Fred Collins wrote his autobiography which was published over some ten weeks in the ‘Glasgow Weekly News’. Under the title ‘My Thirty Years in Stageland’ he recalled that he had written and produced 18 different pantomimes all of which were successful, at the box office at any rate! He also refers to his very many friends in the business. Below are all ten installments, for those who wish to hear Fred’s story in his own words.
