Printed Ephemera — 1907
Playbill
Playbill for the Palace Theatre or Music Hall, East Ham. Printed in red & blue the bill announces a production of the dramatic sketch Ticket of Leave Man and appearances by the comedian Billy Williams and vocal comedienne Kitty Marion.
Kitty Marion combined her career as a music hall artiste with her career as a suffragette militant. She was imprisoned 4 times between 1909 and the end of 1912 for window breaking, arson and other militant activity. During her imprisonments she regularly went on hunger strike and was consequently forcibly fed by the prison authorities, which, on one occasion at least, led to her early release.
The Palace Theatre, located in East Ham High Street opened in 1906.
