London Theatre Royal – Money – 1911 – Special King George V
A large, thick glossy souvenir brochure for the special performance of Money at the Theatre Royal, London, dated 17 May 1911, associated with King George V. It features the full cast, including Lyn Harding, Kenneth Douglas, George Graves and Frank Collins.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s comedy of 1840 satirises a society that values a man only for his fortune, and it remained a favourite choice for grand all-star occasions.
Gala brochures from George V’s coronation year are prized examples of old theatre programmes and royal theatre memorabilia.
