#Houdini #Magic fans might like this 1905 Argyle poster, while I suspect #musichall fans of Vesta Tilley will be outbid. https://auctions.adampartridge.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-1484---harry-houdini-a-red-and-blue-printed-theatre/?lot=34376&so=0&st=&sto=0&au=30&ef=&et=&ic=False&sd=0&pp=48&pn=27&g=1

Hasard du jour... tomber dans les fonds d'#archives 🎶 sur une pépite à portrait : Éléonore Bonnaire (1852-1910), chanteuse et artiste de music-hall ... dont l'article #Wikipédia a tout juste un mois.

Du coup, ajouter des bricoles et illustrer l'article : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89l%C3%A9onore_Bonnaire
Et mettre une première #partition de la #chanson (1893) sur #Commons (d'autres à venir) : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chanson_Quelle_joyeuse_famille_1893.pdf

"Oh! it really is a wery pretty garden,
And Chingford to the eastward could be seen,
Wiv a ladder and some glasses
You could see to 'ackney Marshes,
If it wasn't for the 'ouses in between"

Very sad to hear that Paul O’Grady suddenly passed away. He was a legendary entertainer in the UK, still touring, and he struck me as a very kind and nice person. He was also President of the British Music Hall Society and a strong active presence. I looked forward to his column and thoughts on entertainment and life every time the magazine arrived. He will be missed.

I want to know whether the Aunty and the incontinent dogs get second or third billing.

The First Meme of the 20th Century?

For #WeirdWednesday, "Le Cochon Danseur" (The Dancing Pig), is a bizarre little silent film short from 1907 that knowyourmeme.com has called "the first meme of the 20th century."

The Silentology blog has a great investigation of the film's origins and history.

Flicking through YouTube I came across this
Dickie Henderson, Max Wall & Billy Dainty
Only those of a certain age will remember these very talented comedians who could also put in tremndous Dramatic Turns.
Enjoy.

Fred Emney died in 1917 after an accident onstage at the London Opera House in CINDERELLA. Ten years earlier he appeared in music hall in a long-running sketch called "A Sister To Assist 'er". It's sequel was "The Arrival Of A Rival". Does anyone know these sketches? #musichall

The Britannia Panopticon in Glasgow is the oldest surviving music hall in the world. Stan Laurel made his debut performance there. Yes, he lived in Glasgow for a while.

The #musichall managers named in this intriguing letter were very familiar names to J.W. Cragg, with Pullan being included in the name of a son born whilst the family were playing at his hall! #TheatreHistory

Your line: “In the words of Shakespeare she’s a wow”.

On Saturday 3rd December 1892 a "Grand Complimentary Concert" was given for David Abrahams, my g-g-grandfather. The surviving programme sparked my interest in his story and is possibly the only detailed record of this event, shared here for the first time.
