Edward Woodward presents
The History of London'* Gaiety Theatre-its songs, its stories, its girls, and its Guv'nors.
There never was a theatre quite like it. For seven decades the Gaiety was the talk and the toast of London. It won a unique place in the hearts of theatre-goers, an affection that no theatre before or since has ever achieved. It was an institution - and it stood unashamedly for escapism. In its turn-of-the-century heyday, it caught the very tang and tempo of that brief and opulent Edwardian summer-the days of Empire and golden sovereigns ... When hats were hats of startling size.
And waists were waists. and thighs were thighs with SHEILA MATHEWS ,
