Birmingham Aston Hippodrome Theatre – Cheerful Days – 1940s Auto
An original programme for Cheerful Days at the Hippodrome Theatre, Aston, Birmingham, believed to be from around 1945.
The bill includes Frank E Franks, Mervyn Rolando and The Hippodrome Orchestra, and there appear to be a number of autographs inside.
Wartime and post-war variety programmes carrying autographs are especially appealing, combining signed theatre memorabilia with a snapshot of Birmingham’s much-loved variety theatre.
