Superb 120+ year old theatre programme with stunning illustrations front and back. Built in 1884, the Empire Theatre was one of the main theatres in Leicester Square, becoming the Empire Theatre of Varieties in 1887. However, in 1927 the popularity of the cinema took over and the theatre closed in deference to the silver screen.

4 pages including front and back cover; h27 ½ x w20 ½

Condition Code: 5: Excellent condition with smooth, flat pages; no nicks or folds. Almost invisible, small tear on spine edge. Outstanding condition especially for 120+ year old document.
