London Adelphi Theatre – The Boy – 1920s
An original theatre programme for The Boy at the Adelphi Theatre, London, featuring Maddie Hope, Nellie Taylor and Heather Thatcher.
This popular musical comedy was adapted from Arthur Wing Pinero’s farce The Magistrate, with music by Lionel Monckton and Howard Talbot.
Programmes from the Adelphi before its 1930 rebuilding are an appealing slice of early twentieth-century West End history for collectors of old theatre programmes.

Did you know?
- The Boy opened at the Adelphi in 1917 and became one of the long-running hits of the First World War era.
- Lionel Monckton also composed The Arcadians and Our Miss Gibbs.
- The Adelphi was rebuilt in Art Deco style in 1930, so this programme comes from the earlier theatre.
