Postcard sent by Linga Singh in Berlin to Lewis Davenport, 1936

Linga Singh sent his greetings on 30 October 1936 to Davenports and explained that he is leaving the Wintergarten in Berlin to travel to Vienna. Continental theatres booked artists by the calendar month. 30 October 1936 was a Saturday, so Linga Singh would have had to spend Sunday 31 October travelling from Berlin to his next date in Vienna. This was convenient for him; if 31 October had fallen on a weekday, he would have had to travel to Vienna overnight in order to open there on 1 November.
