Silk programme for <i>Dorothy's Stratagem</i> by J. Mortimer and <i>The Great Divorce Case</i> by John Doe and Richard Doe (Clement Scott and Arthur Matthison), starring Charles Wyndham as Geoffrey Gordon, with Nelly Bromley as Mrs. Graham, Criterion Theatre, 12 March 1877. Letterpress on silk. Silk and satin theatre playbills and programmes were produced from the 18th century onwards, to commemorate special evenings at the theatre. Most theatres in the 19th century would have had some made to mark grand openings or milestone performances. By the end of the First World War however the practice had generally died out, only being revived very occasionally, more often at London's opera houses than any other theatres. This silk was produced for the revival of <i>Dorothy's Stratagem</i> at the Criterion Theatre, 12 March 1877. The play had originally opened there on 23 December 1876. The Criterion, the small underground theatre at Piccadilly Circus which opened in March 1874, became known as one of London's leading theatres for light comedy. Charles Wyndham (1837-1919), who starred in <i>The Great Divorce Case</i>, was associated with the theatre for over 20 years. He made his name at London's Royalty Theatre in a burlesque comedy in 1866, and appeared at the Criterion in December 1875 in the comedy <i>Brighton</i>. By Easter 1876 he was a profit-sharing partner in the Criterion, leased by Alexander Henderson. Wyndham was in his element in risqué farces, often adapted from French originals, including <i>The Great Divorce Case</i> adapted by Clement Scott and Arthur Matthison (alias Doe and Roe) from <i>Le Procès Veraudieux</i>, and W.S. Gilbert's <i>On Bail</i>. This programme also advertises the farce <i>Masks</i> which opened on 2 April 1877 as <i>The Pink Dominos</i>, adapted by James Albery from the French play <i>Les Dominos Roses</i> by Messrs. Hennequin and Delacour; and the burlesque <i>Oxygen, or, Gas in Burlesque Metre</i> which opened on 31 March 1877 at Henderson's other theatre, the Folly, starring his wife, the burlesque star Lydia Thompson. Silk programme on cream silk with narrow cream fringe attached, printed in black typography in landscape format with gold borders decorated with gold foliate pattern at the corners, headed 'CRITERION THEATRE, Lessee and Manager Mr. Alex Henderson. CHARLES WYNDHAM And the ENTIRE COMPANY' EVERY EVENING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE'. The programme gives the cast of <i>Dorothy's Stratagem</i> by J. Mortimer and <i>The Great Divorce Case</i> by John Doe and Richard Roe. It also advertises the forthcoming production of <i>Masks</i> by James Albery at the Criterion Theatre 'on Easter Monday' and <i>Oxygen, or, Gas in Burlesque Metre</i> featuring 'Miss Lydia Thompson and Augmented Company at the Folly Theatre 'at Easter'. Undated.
