AUSTRALIAN EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID
J.C. WILLIAMSON PANTOMIME PROGRAMS
PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS AND EPHEMERA (PROMPT)
PRINTED AUSTRALIANA
JANUARY 2015
James Cassius Williamson was an American actor who immigrated to Australia in the 1870s.
Along with business partners, such as William Musgrove, his theatre company became one of the
most dominant in colonial Australia. After his death in 1913 the company, now named J.C.
Williamson Ltd. continued under the direction of George Tallis and the Tait brothers (who
remained involved in the company until the 1970s).
J.C. Williamson continued to be one of the biggest theatre companies in Australia throughout the
first three quarters of the 20th century. J.C. Williamson held the license for theatres in Melbourne,
Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and New Zealand (at times more than one theatre in each city). In
1976 the company closed, but the name was licensed until the mid 1980s.
This list includes pantomimes held in J.C. Williamson theatres, as well as those produced by J.C.
Williamson and performed in other theatres under venue hire arrangements.
The list also includes libretti for overseas pantomime productions collected by J.C. Williamson for
their corporate archive.
CONTENT
Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs and printed ephemera such as
brochures, leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of
a performance staged by the J.C. Williamson company. In a few cases however, the only evidence
of a performance is a piece of printed ephemera. In these cases the type of piece is identified, eg,
brochure.
The list is based on imperfect holdings and is updated as gaps in the Library’s holdings for these
artists are filled. Unless otherwise stated, all entries are based on published programs in the
PROMPT collection.
ACCESS
The J.C. Williamson PROMPT files may be accessed through the Library’s Special
Collections Reading Room by eCallslip request: http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn3666448.

ARRANGEMENT
This list has two sections:
Pantomimes produced by J.C. Williamson or produced in J.C. Williamson theatres
Libretti for overseas productions of pantomimes collected by J.C. Williamson
The primary arrangement of this finding aid is chronological based on the start date of each
production. The selection of libretti for overseas pantomimes at the end of the list has been
arranged alphabetically according to the title of the production.
All dates are based on evidence in the programs or ephemera, or have been confirmed by
accessing newspaper articles and advertisements through Trove.
Entries for each program in the main section are arranged as follows:
Year of production Title of Production / creator if known
Date (day and month)
Theatre/venue
Headline performers
Brief description of item holdings, ie “2 copies of program”
An index to headline performers (listing performer’s name, year of appearance and venue), venue
