- Silk programme on cream silk in blue typography with integral fringe on top and bottom, printed on both sides. Divided into three sections with images on the front. Produced for the 'Tower of Varieties Circus to Commemorate the Opening of the Birmingham Tower of Varieties', with acrobatics, juggling, sword walking and music, Birmingham Tower of Varieties, 9th October, 1899. (en)
- This programme with its decorative panels and lithographic images of the interior and exterior of the building, was made to be folded in three like a paper programme, but is of silk to commemorate the opening night of Tower of Varieties and Circus in Hurst Street, Birmingham, on 9th October 1899. This was a music hall with a circus ring which could be flooded for aquatic spectacle. It had a tall Moorish tower which can be seen in the images of the theatre on the programme cover.
Designed by the prolific theatre architect F.W. Lloyd, the interior of the theatre was completely reconstructed in 1900 as the Tivoli Theatre of Varieties, with a neo-classical interior and seating for over 2000. In 1963 the foyer and main façade were completely refurbished and the tower demolished. With later improvements, the theatre is now known as the Birmingham Hippodrome. (en)
