According to Devant in his book ‘My Magic Life’ the sketch ‘The Enchanted Hive’, which is on this programme, was first introduced on 8 December 1902. If Devant was correct, this programme must therefore be dated 8 December 1902 or later. If so, the pencil date of 17 January 1900 on the programme’s cover must be incorrect. The bill includes David Devant.
Programme for Maskelyne and Cooke’s Mysteries, probably for their 1902-1903 provincial tour
