Further to yesterday’s toot … once played host to three legends in one evening. In 1925, Anna Pavlova’s ballet company performed ‘Swan Lake’ at Buxton. Watching Pavlova were Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, who had been filming ‘Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall’ just a few miles away. Not bad for a theatre in a small town in rural Derbyshire! . . . .
