This bright, bold poster plugged a Glasgow theatre’s weekly lineup in 1963. It’s a snapshot of Variety shows—lots of acts, two shows a night, and the headliner’s name at the top. Before TV took over, towns across Britain had these halls. Stars earned big paychecks, and the top name always “topped the bill.” Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more on these eye-catching posters.
