Tunes of Glory Kilts _ Gerald Harper

[madmacs]

The provenance is excellent. Jardine supplied the kilts to M. Berman, a theatrical costumer in London (Bermans did business as Berman & Nathan and as Angel & Berman). As is typical of "fitted costumes" the name of the actor (and sometimes the production) is on the M. Berman label.

No doubt about it, this kilt is from the movie TUNES OF GLORY.

I wasnt doubting the authenticity... Merely wondering where they were for the last 50 years... Some backlot storage room in a long forgotten studio? Cherished by the original wearer under glass 'til they kicked the proverbial and then lost for numerous years before being rediscovered?.. sometimes the story is as interesting as the item... Then again maybe not...

Twice in the last 10-15 years Bermans/Angels has sold off surplus costuming. In all likelihood these kilts were disposed of at that time.

Makes you wonder what else might be tucked away there...
