Ilford Town Hall – Social Club – Good For Nothing – 1903
An Edwardian theatre programme from the Ilford Social Club at the Town Hall, dated 1 April 1903, for a double bill of Good For Nothing and Chimney Corner. The cast included Percy Gaunt, Clyde Cole, Chas Neil and Lillian Stokes.
Double bills of short comedies and domestic dramas were a staple of Victorian and Edwardian evenings at the theatre.
Early amateur programmes such as this give a real glimpse of local entertainment in Ilford over a century ago, and are a rewarding addition to any collection of old theatre programmes.
