[Victor Silvester, bandleader and ballroom dancer.] Autograph Signature on ‘Souvenir Programme’ for the ‘Grand Empire Day Dance’ at the Alexander Hall, Halifax, with local band 'Harry Nicholl and his Alexandrians' .

On 15 x 11 cm card, with vertical central fold making it into a bifolium with front and back covers, and central text across the opening. In fair condition, a little aged. Perforated outer corner removed from bottom of second leaf, no doubt as proof of use; with slight creasing to first leaf at same point. Printed at the head of the back cover is the word ‘AUTOGRAPHS’, and here in blue ink is the signature ‘Victor Silvester’. There are no other autographs. The front cover is headed ‘T. F. Firth and Sons Ltd. Sports Club’, and gives details of event (‘Dancing to Victor Silvester and his Ballroom Orchestra’), venue and price. The central opening is headed ‘Souvenir Programme’, and gives times for three spots by Silvester’s band, and three by ‘Harry Nicholl and his Alexandrians’, with two ‘Spot Dances’ and a ‘Last Waltz’.
