1910 Oxford Music Hall Programme Harry Tate Dan Crawley London Colour Cover

Original three-panel programme for The Oxford Music Hall, London, for the week beginning Monday 6 June 1910. The bill features comedian Harry Tate, who had made his professional stage debut at this same music hall in 1895, and fellow music hall performer Dan Crawley. It also includes Ruffell’s Imperial Bioscope, an early film attraction.

The colourful front shows The Oxford’s building. Two further illustrated panels depict Iffley Mill and the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford. These are cover illustrations; the performance venue was in London.
