London Vaudeville Theatre – The Childrens Hundreds – 1947

An original theatre programme for The Childrens Hundreds at the Vaudeville Theatre, London, in 1947.

The cast includes Marjorie Fielding, Edith Savile, Joan Winmill, Michael Shepley, Peter Coke and Diane Hart in William Douglas-Home’s gentle political comedy about an aristocratic household turned upside down by a post-war election.

A lovely survivor from the austerity years, and a fine example of 1940s old theatre programmes.
