Blackpool Palace Theatre – Variety Show – 1953
An original variety programme from the Palace Theatre, Blackpool, dated 10 August 1953. The bill features Ravic and Babs, Reg Dixon, Maurice Arnold, the Dancing Duvals and Lionel King.
The Palace presented twice-nightly variety at the heart of the promenade during Blackpool’s busy post-war summer seasons.
As the Palace Theatre no longer stands, programmes from its stage are a nostalgic piece of theatre memorabilia for collectors of seaside variety.
