More than one string to their bow.

Talking yesterday about Violet Carson and her dual career as pianist and actress reminded me of the popular play "The Ghost Train", which was later made into an equally popular film starring Arthur Askey.  It was written in the 1920s by Arnold Ridley, who was to achieve fame much later in his life as Private Godfrey (the one always desperate to "be excused") in "Dad's Army".
