Mrs. John Drew's Arch St. Theatre. The Wonderful and Only "Vokes," Pronounced By the Press and the Public of America, the Perfection of Fun. This Evening, Will be Presented The Belles of the Kitchen
[Philadelphia: 1870's?]: "Evening Mirror, Job Print, 710 Sansom Street 1 page broadside, measuring 6 inches by 9 inches, with left margin worn, some chipping, soiling, bottom margin soiled some, otherwise good. The Vokes Family was a group of popular Victorian entertainers. The siblings were highly comical and excelled at pantomime. It was during the 1870's that Pantomime at Drury Lane, then under the management of F. B. Chatterton, became almost the monopoly of the remarkable and youthful Vokes family. This troupe, composed largely of brothers and sisters with a few co-opted Vokeses, enjoyed a long spell of popularity there. It included Fred Vokes, the 'legmania' dancer, his three sisters - Jessie (who carried out all the business arrangements and 'mothered' the family), Rosina (the cleverest of them all) and Victoria, who was equally good in melodrama and serious plays, together with Fawdon and Walter Vokes, who were 'adopted,' and Mrs. Fred Vokes. The real Vokeses were the children of a theatrical costumier who took to the stage very early in life. Victoria went on the stage when she was two and Rosina made her debut as a baby in long clothes. They were all good looking as well as agile dancers and they toured as a troupe of family entertainers with a repertory of one-act humorous plays. . Fair. Broadside. ( more information)
