This item about the forthcoming week starting 2 June 1924 at the Chiswick Empire is of particular interest because it includes a sketch of Lewis Davenport’s act. The item says that Lewis has only recently taken to vaudeville life. This is incorrect, it should have said he has only recently started to appear at the top theatres, so called No. 1 theatres, such as those owned by Sir Oswald Stoll. From a different newspaper item we know the acts on the bill. They are recorded under Details.
