Emile Littler's Pantomime Pie 1950

A magazine produced by the panto producer to be sold at his theatres. He prefaces it:

"Here we are again, the festive season, the clown's merry greeting. A Happy Christmas with your annual dish of Pantomime Pie. This is the third offering cooked up by your humble servant, Father Christmas Emile Littler, and meekly submitted to you in a spirit of topsy turvy merriment and Inconsequential revelry, to glorify our traditional Christmas entertainment- Pantomime-without which the British yuletide season would be incomplete".
