Title
Coster Joe - Ventriloquist Dummy
Description
Fred Russell’s (Thomas Frederick Parnell, 1862-1957, the 'Father of Modern Ventriloquism') ventriloquist dummy Coster Joe, used in his act. (According to a letter from Pembroke Duston to Raymond Mander on 15 July 1972, Duston found Coster Joe in the Prop Stores of ATV at Elstree to be thrown away, but saved it and gave him to Jack Parnell, son of Val Parnell whose father was Fred Russell. However, one of Jack Parnell’s uncles thought that this Coster Joe is not the original dummy and Parnell returned the dummy to Duston to be given to a ‘museum’, and so it was donated to the Mander & Mitchenson Collection in 1972.)
