RARE An unusual piece of Apollo Theatre 1930s history with 24 related signatories. This is a souvenir book of the 1935 Silver Jubilee presented with the compliments of Easterns Ltd. Hand written on the inside title page is "With Happy Memories of the Apollo" and 24 different autographs. The one name that was identified and researched for this auction catalogue (due to time constraints) is Diana King (1918 1986) who was an English actress who had a career on British television from 1939 to 1986. She was sometimes credited as Diane King. She made her first TV appearance in Little Ladyship in 1939. She continued to appear on television and in films throughout the 1940s and 1950s. From the 1960s onwards she appeared in numerous shows including The Avengers, The Benny Hill Show, Dixon of Dock Green, Z Cars, Dads Army, Fawlty Towers, Rising Damp and Terry and June. However, she is probably best remembered for her role as Mrs Peacock, the long suffering first wife of Captain Peacock, in Are You being Served? This is an intriguing book and contains 23 other autographs that it would be very interesting to identify and research. The book is approximately 9.75 inches x 7.5 inches, is 250 pages long and celebrates the Silver Jubilee of George V and Queen Mary in 1935. It is packed full of interesting photographs relating to the King and Queen, their world travels and major events during the first 25 years of their reign which includes the First World War. It is an interesting book in its own right but the addition of 24 autographs from the Apollo Theatre in 1935 must surely make it unique. Good condition.
