Hello and welcome to this Special Feature on the Playgoer Souvenir of the London Hippodrome from 1902, kindly sent in by Iain Wotherspoon who says: 'The water spectacle finale, "The Bandits", which is mentioned in this article ran from the 16th of June to the 29th of November, 1902. (My Great, Great, Great Uncle, Charles Weir played the dashing hero lead!)'

The article includes details of the building, what it was like to sit in its lavish auditorium, and the fantastic variety of acts gracing its stage. The article is illustrated with wonderful images of the building and some of its performers. Enjoy!

There are a great many articles on the London Hippodrome on this site and you will find an index to them all here.
