Bolton Lido Theatre – Grand Variety Show – 1930s
An original programme for a Grand Variety Show at the Lido Theatre, Bolton, believed to date from the 1930s.
The bill includes Milton Woodward, Issy Bonn, Elsie Bower, Beryl Orde and the radio comedy team Forsythe, Seamon & Farrell (Charles Forsythe, Addie Seamon and Eleanor Farrell).
Many variety acts of the period became household names through the new medium of radio before touring the theatres in person. A lovely piece of Lancashire entertainment history for collectors of old theatre programmes.
