Apollo Theatre Royal Poster – Circa early 1900’s

About this Apollo Theatre variety theatre poster

A large, genuine variety show theatre poster from the Apollo Theatre, believed to date from the early 1900s and measuring approximately 24” x 36”. The bill features Teddy Stream and Teddy Sherry among its acts. Posters like this were pasted up for a single week of performances and were usually destroyed, so survivals of this size are uncommon. A striking display piece for collectors of theatre memorabilia and early variety.

Did you know?

• Variety bills were usually printed in bold letterpress, with the biggest names in the largest type.
• Variety theatres changed their bill weekly, so posters had a very short working life.
