An original theatre programme from the 1912 season at the Kursaal Theatre, Bognor Regis, featuring Harry Ruming and the Mountebanks, with Leonard Henry billed as humorist.
Seaside concert parties like the Mountebanks were a much-loved part of Edwardian holidays, offering songs, sketches and comedy to summer visitors.
A delightful piece of seaside entertainment history and a lovely example of old theatre programmes from before the First World War.
