THEATRICAL - 3 folio albums containing some 120 b/w. photographs of a host of variety & cabaret artistes of the 1930s; mostly mounted, many 8 x 10 ins., some smaller; many are Continental / American performers - a veritable 'all-singing, all dancing' palace of varieties (both portrait & 'in performance' shots). * of especial interest as all are inscribed with warm greetings across the image to Mrs. (? Judy) Lediard, proprietress of the Coventry Court Hotel (? in the West End, Coventry Street), then evidently a leading theatrical stopover; the scores of names include Jean Rai, Queenie May (the 'prize packet'), George Dorlis, Glen Pope (the 'thimble king'), Ben Yarlett, the Lecuona Cuban Boys (eleven signatures on one) & another in performance (with foreground tabled audience); and all helping to fill the weekly bills at the scores of nationwide venues at that time; a greatly evocative collection. Illustrated
