London Shaftesbury Theatre – The Belle Of New York – 1898
An original theatre programme for The Belle Of New York at the Shaftesbury Theatre, London, dated 7 June 1898, with principal cast including Harry Davenport and Frank Turner.
With music by Gustave Kerker and book and lyrics by Hugh Morton, this musical comedy of a Salvation Army girl and a spendthrift heir was the hit of the 1898 London season.
A key early American success in the West End, this is a fine addition to any collection of Victorian old theatre programmes.
