Item description from seller

Dimensions roughly 26 x 20 cm. Four printed pages, in a bifolium, stapled into coloured illustrated covers. A scarce piece of theatre ephemera, in reasonable condition: creased, with rusted wraps and with one short closed tear to front cover, which carries the words 'Adelphi Theatre. Sole Proprietors, A. & S. Gatti.' and an illustration, painted in an impressionist style, of a fashionable group dining. Stamped 'Saturday Feb 19'. The back cover, also in colour, carries an advertisement for 'Vinolia Toilet Preparations', with an illustration, entitled 'Envy', by 'W. O.' Advertisements throughout, including a full-page advertisement for Edwardes' Gaiety and Daly's Theatres (other advertisements include ones for 'Madame Dowding, Court Corsetiere' and 'Odol The World's Dentifrice'). Half-page 'Refreshment Tariff'. Cast list and details of performance in central double-page spread. Doyle took a six-month lease on the Adelphi in order to produce 'The House of Temperley'. The death of King Edward VII caused a serious slump in ticket sales, and this, coupled with the subject, which was considered unsuitable for ladies, resulted in a short run. There is no copy of this item on COPAC. The play did not appear in book form. Note: "The House of Temperley is a 1913 British silent drama film directed by Harold M. Shaw and starring Charles Maude, Ben Webster and Lillian Logan.[1] It is based on the 1896 novel Rodney Stone by Arthur Conan Doyle and is sometimes known by the alternative title Rodney Stone. The House of Temperley was the first film made by the London Film Company and first shown in Nottingham" [Wikipedia not mentioning the play]; B. See also Conan Doyle Encyclopedia. See Image.…
