This volume is a first edition.
This is a comprehensive history of one of London’s most famous theatres. Daly’s Theatre, which stood in Leicester Square, opened in 1893 under the management of George Edwardes and quickly became synonymous with the glitter and spectacle of Edwardian musical comedy.
Illustrated with nine double-sided monochrome photographic plates, chiefly portraits of performers in their celebrated roles. Collated, complete.
D. Forbes-Winslow (1914–1974) was a British physician and writer with a deep passion for the stage, publishing several works on London theatre history.
