  • Description
    Photograph of a black and white postcard showing the façade of the Empire Theatre in Leicester Square, London. A large balcony covers the main entrance from which pilasters rise up to a pediment with THE EMPIRE THEATRE appearing across the entablature below an emblem of the crown at the pinnacle. The name EMPIRE juts out from the balcony written in lights and "BY GEORGE" CORONATION REVUE also appears in lights in between the columns. More signage appears at street-level advertising a production called 'Sylvia' starring Linda Kyasht.
