Royal Pavilion, Blackpool

‘The Pavilion is the great entertainment hall, and at the head of the bill is the Petite Revue, “Eyes Right,” a melange of mirth and melody, whose title has a true military ring about it. The cast in a strong and capable one, including Tom D. Newell, Eileen Desmond and Eight Empire Girls’ (Fleetwood Express, 14 June 1916). ‘A wonderful aggregation of amusements has been assembled at the Winter Gardens by the enterprising management, to charm away the worries of these war-time days. There is fun unending to make the Whitsun holidays pass merrily and only too quickly away … In the Grand Pavilion every afternoon and evening laughter, light, and loveliness pervade the atmosphere, where the petite revue, “Eyes Right,” a melange of melody and mirth is being presented for the week. Sparkling wit, pretty girls in dainty costumes, amid splendid scenery and ear-haunting music, all make this artistic production a success. The cast includes Tom D. Newell, well known to Blackpool audiences; Eileen Desmond, and the Eight Empire Girls’ (Blackpool Gazette & Herald, 13 and 16 June 1916). ‘A bright and clever revue, Eyes Right, heads a capital programme here. The principals include Tom D. Newell, Eileen Desmond, and the Eight Empire Girls’ (The Stage, 15 June 1916).

‘“Mrs. Dane’s Defence” was the attraction [at the Royal Pavilion, Blackpool ] on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. To-day (Thursday) Harry Foxwell’s Players will present “Neither Wife Nor Maid”’. The Stage, 7 May 1931.
