Description: | The popular Canterbury Theatre of Varieties was the first of the great music halls. It staged a diverse range of acts, often with a surprisingly large number billed on one programme. Such a full and varied line-up is advertised on this poster for a day performance held to raise money for Lusby's Music Hall Employees Relief Fund. Many well known names such as G H Macdermott (1845-1901),or "the Great Macdermott", famous for his patriotic songs, are listed alongside a recitation, a bicycle troupe and ballet dancing. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Theatre Performers | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Smith, Walter | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
