Brighton West Pier Theatre – Italian Marionettes – 1920s
An original programme for the Italian Marionettes at the Brighton West Pier Theatre, from the early 1920s. The bill includes Betty Ballance and Bunkham & Blarneys.
Puppetry and variety were favourite seaside entertainments, and programmes from the long-lost West Pier theatre are evocative pieces of old theatre programmes for collectors of Brighton and seaside history.
