£100 cash prize is on offer for this cartoon competition - and other consolation prizes. This is the second of ten cartoons by "Poy" the famous cartoonist.

Six of the original Poy cartoons (framed) are to be awarded as consolation prizes. "Full details on a Poster at this Theatre."
Note: any ideas? Answers on a postcard please to British Pathe, Pinewood Studios...
