1952

The images below are of a programme for a performance of "Good-Night Vienna" by The British Legion Players performed at the Empire Theatre, Briggate, Leeds, from 12th to 17th May 1952.

The Empire Palace Theatre was demolished in 1962 and the Empire Arcade built in its place.

This programme, and the collection of original images included below, were found amongst a collection of photographs related more directly to the GVWA Community Centre. 

One of the players, Margaret McDonald, was thought to be a GVWA member.

Proceeds from the event were donated to St Dunstan's, later renamed and now known as Blind Veterans UK, a British charity who support blind and vision-impaired ex-Service men and women and National Service personnel.
