About this London Coliseum variety programme

An original variety theatre programme from the London Coliseum, dated 12 March 1923. The bill includes Hinsel, Frank Elliston, The Flying Banvards, Nellie Kouns, Godfrey Teaarle, Ben Osborne and Katrian. In the 1920s the Coliseum’s variety bills famously mixed acrobats and music hall turns with leading actors appearing in short dramatic sketches. A splendid survivor from the golden age of variety, much prized by collectors of old theatre programmes.
