Date

Description
Eight page programme for Charley's Aunt from March 1919.
What's the story?
With this programme for 'Charley's Aunt' one can see the progression in programme design twenty years on from 1896 , as well as societal development. There are now advertisements relating to cars, e.g. for garages and taxis.
The other advertisements are interesting, referring to rationing (practical classes in cooking) and recycling (waste paper needed by industry).
Finch’s Wools is still advertising.
There is a full-page advert by the British anti-vivisection society
However, the information for the actual show is hard to spot among the adverts, which is often a complaint by audiences about modern programmes.
