"The Burglar"    1969  Directed by Frank Dunlop      Vaudeville Theatre, London

Reviewer     Stewart Lane       Morning Star
"The saving feature of the evening was Jim Dale, proving himself once again a comedy actor with energy and talent. Perhaps one day his full potentialities will be properly exploited and extended: when that day comes we could well find ourselves with a young-generation star."

Reviewer  Dorothy Newton Sheffield Telegraph
"Jim Dale as the burglar is the undoubted star of this piece - he has to be weak, wary, with short sight and stumbling gait. In other words, a Laurel sans Hardy."
