If anyone belongs to the Cheltenham Local History Society, they apparently have something about The Coliseum in their journal of this year.

There certainly are similarities in the photos, but it appears that the Everyman Theatre used to be called the 'The New Theatre & Opera House' which opened in 1891. It changed its name to Everyman in 1960.

From a 1913 trade directory, these are the theatres listed for Cheltenham:

Don't think it's the same theatre as The Everyman as there is no stone column as there is in the Colusseum picture.

The Hippodrome is now a Bingo Hall, I think and is a Portland Stone type edifice, so it isn't that.


Maybe Tim should email the contact for the Cheltenham Local History Society?

Don't know about the theatre, but I DO know about the Kiddies.  Gar was Joseph GARibaldi Kiddie, born 1864.  Nor, his son, was NORman Chilton Kiddie, born 1898.  They had Widnes connections, and Gar is buried there.

Hurray!

Welcome Doug!  You will be a great addition to Rootschat with specialist knowledge like that!

Are the Kiddies any relation?

Thanks for putting us out of our misery

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Thanks, Arranroots - they are relatives, of a sort!  My grandfather's brother married a sister of Gar Kiddie.

Thanks to all for your continued sleuthing.

I've gone back with my magnifying glass, and the poster in the background definitely says "Cheltenham Coliseum", and on the frame it says "K.L. Beard's Theatres" (or possibly M.L. ...).  The other thing that struck me is that everything about the building looks brand new, which could explain why it isn't in Koromo's 1913 trade list, the photo being from 1923.  In fact, perhaps this was the opening night for the theatre, which would justify a big group photo.

And great information from Doug ... I'm sure your distant relatives and mine knew each other, since mine were an extended Yorkshire-based theatrical family.

Cheers
