Description: | June 1914. From the poster outside the New Pavilion it is possible to tell that this photograph was taken during the week of June 29th 1914. This was at the time when variety items were being put on stage twice nightly. Acts advertised for that week are the Three Musical Shafers, the Four Dancistos, Bob Fame and Harry Fortune, Violet Gerald and the Lorettes. According to the Morley Observer the Three Musical Shafers, two ladies and a gentleman, are very clever comedy musicians. One of the lady performers plays a cornet admirably. The Four Dancistos are vocalists and speciality dancers of exceptional merit and both Bob Fame and Harry Fortune are very amusing versatile comedians. Miss Violet Gerald sings some excellent chorus songs among them being "Homeland" and the Lorettes give a daring act on the double trapeze.
