Alfred Clark, Juggling Act; 3. Martinettes, 'The Music Master'; 4. Valdo, Entree; 5. Yesokichi, Perpendicular Rope; 6. Atlas and Vulcana, Modern Athletes; 7. George Leglere Troupe; 8.

The name of the Equestrian Director and Ring Master is credited as Mr. R. Roberts, and the Musical Director, Mr. E. Davis. 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 the 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. Silk programme printed in blue typography on cream silk, for the 'Grand Opening Night of the Tower of Varieties & Circus', 9 October 1899. Featuring images of the Birmingham Tower of Varieties on the front, and its manager, Harry Calver. Antony Hippisley Coxe Collection.
