New Theatre Cambridge November 1920

A paper 1920 New Theatre Cambridge programme cover — **Programme from the New Theatre Cambridge November 1920**

A folded paper advertisement programme for the week commencing Monday November 8th 1920, for the New Theatre, Cambridge. The forthcoming programme includes a visit from the famous D’Oyly Carte Opera Company, it was around this time that the actress Lillie Langtry (and her little dog) were staying with my great grandmother in Russell Street Cambridge - by this point it is thought that Lillie had retired from acting but she followed the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company with passion, and it is probably at this time she is staying at great grannies house (and when these programmes have been passed down from) - you can read more about Lillie Langtry and her stay in Cambridge HERE.

This programme also shows us some great Cambridge advertisements from many local companies.
