EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID
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.
Please note that the list also includes programs for some films, as well as programs for overseas
productions of plays collected by J. C. Williamson for their corporate archive.
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.
