- catalog description "The Argyle Theatre was one of the oldest music halls in Britain, famous for its lively entertainment and for fostering new talent. It opened as a music hall in 1868 under the ownership of Dennis Grannel. In 1876 Grannell changed the name to the Prince of Wales and used the theatre to present plays. In 1890 Denis J. Clarke, Mr. Grannell's nephew, took over the management of the theatre and changed it back to a music hall under its original name of the Argyle Theatre. Clarke ran the Argyle for 45 years, making it the best-known music hall theatre in England. The Argyle was destroyed by fire in an air raid during the Battle of Britain on September 21, 1940.".
