Bristol Prince's Theatre – Dick Whittingotn – 1900 1901
A substantial programme, more like a book than a programme, for the 1900-1901 pantomime Dick Whittington at the Prince’s Theatre, Bristol, with Millie Hylton and Arthur Lupino among the principal cast.
Produced at the turn of the twentieth century, it captures the lavish spectacle of late Victorian pantomime. A rare survivor among old theatre programmes, and a superb piece of Bristol theatre history.
