Rare original theatre variety poster for the Empire, Birmingham from May 1939 in the show Nice People starring Nat Mills & Bobbie. Also on the bill is future I.T.M.A. regular Lind Joyce.

This poster comes from the personal archive of Nat Mills.

Husband & wife comedy act Nat Mills (Nathaniel Miller) & Bobbie (Roberta Macauley) popular from the 20s till Bobbie's death in 1955. Billed as The Rare Pair their bickering act involved Nat becoming increasingly exasperated by Bobbie's misunderstandings and taking figures of speech literally leading to Nat's catchphrase "Let's get on with it!"
