Yes thanks Colin for those Chiswick Empire programme images. Nostalgia indeed.
We would attend on Monday evenings to benefit from the cheap seats in the GOD'S...having queued in the side alleyways  of the theatre.
I recall the Max Wall occasion...watching him amusingly wobbly-legging it across the Stage. That would have been in the 1950s.
We also attended the final show in June 1959...LIBERACE the flamboyant American pianist. The Empire was crazily knocked down soon after...and I went off (crazily)to do National Service in Cyprus and Libya).

There are images of the Programmes all over Google Images and Ebay.
Arthur Askey,Cliff Richard and Wee Willy Harris all appeared over time.... and just after WW2 Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery received his Freeman of the old Borough of Brentford and Chiswick on stage (I didn't get a ticket for that event!)
