King’s Theatre poster, 04 March 1918

This striking red-and-blue poster advertises Airs and Graces, a musical revue presented at Dundee’s King’s Theatre during the First World War. Billed as a “Special Super-Attraction”, the production was brought direct from London’s Palace Theatre by impresario Harry Day and featured revue star Esta Stella alongside a large supporting cast, comedians, dancers, and an augmented orchestra.
