Magicians P.T. Selbit, Owen Clark and Paul Vandy travelled up to Histon, Cambridge to be part of the annual Chivers & Sons Ltd. entertainment which, in 1923, celebrated 50 years of preserve production. This smart six page booklet is headed Programme & Words of Annual Entertainment. It is dated 20 and 21 December 1923. Selbit had two spots, one of which was presenting the séance The Long Acre Ghost which had so impressed Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. View the PDF to see all six pages. We include illustrations of this programme courtesy of the Histon and Impington Village Society. The history of Chivers & Sons is interesting. Details may be found in the profusely illustrated book The Chivers Story published in 2023 by the Histon and Impington Village Society.
