Description: DM2000072121:SAED:BEAUTY:SEP1962 - Alf Herbert - Cover Girl-Candid Confessions of a showman, Alf known to his cast as the old Geezer - gets right into a rehearsal himself. Alf Herbert (with his bicarb and his ulcers and his zoot shirt) opened up to G.R Naidoo in Durban and told a real showman's tale ... from the day his mother had labour pains while she was being strangled on stage in "Othello" (what a stormy birth) to the many times he has had to by-pass towns because he didn't have money to pay the bills. It is the story,too, of African Jazz. His African Jazz and Variety has been on the road for almost ten years. Alf Herbert, at 52, can keep awake for 19 out of 24 hours for days on end.
