Maskelyne and Cooke: Egyptian Hall, London, 1873–1904, by George A. Jenness, 1967
EXEBD 33284

Nevil Maskelyne and George A. Cooke were key figures in the magical entertainment scene in London at the end of the 19th Century. Their Egyptian Hall was a starting point for performers including David Devant, and was one of the venues where early film shows found a regular home in the repertoires of the resident magicians.
