Not London Travers - Mr.Lindon-Travers, who I believe was the grandfather of Bill Travers, the actor.
Lindon-Travers had previously been the entertainment manager of the Palace-by-the-Sea Theatre Tynemouth - his specialty was dramatic lectures illustrated by projected images.
Please see my comment in the photos section (image 3).
This, in the early 1950’s, was the first full Manager’s post for Norman Cully, my boss at ABC, Sunderland. He transferred to the Coliseum, Whitley Bay from the Olympia where he spent quite a few years before becoming Manager of the ABC Ritz, Sunderland, ABC’s most important theatre in the North East after the Haymarket, Newcastle.
