The fact that the two magical sketches on the programme are ‘The Gnome’s Grot’ and ‘Mrs. Daffodil Downey’s Séance’, and other information, make it clear that the programme belongs to this particular tour. The bill includes David Devant. This programme is in the Peter Lane Collection and is included on this website with his kind permission. Research by Ian Keable in 2024 reveals that the programme must have been printed for the Company’s appearance in Manchester.
