Scope and content
A collection of mostly un-captioned and undated photographs of performances and audiences in Father Mathew Hall, Church Street, Dublin. Many of the photographs are press photographs (mainly from the 'Irish Independent', 'Evening Press' and the 'Irish Press'). They include photographs of pantomimes ('Aladdin', 1956-7) and the ‘Mai MacCartney’ troupe of dancers. The file also includes press photographs of Feis competition winners. Only a few of the prints are annotated: ‘Maria Bennett, Paddy Corr, Phyllis Bennett. Taken by the 'Herald' photographer for “Patience”, May 1956’. There is one annotated colourised print in the file showing two girls called ‘The Dominoes’, Christmas Pantomime, 1952.
