Charley?s Aunt by Brandon Thomas (24 December 1848 ? 19 June 1914). Charley's Aunt broke all historic records for plays of any kind, with an original London run of 1,466 performances and numerous subsequent productions all around the world, in film and musical theatre adaptations. The flyer shows a cartoon drawing of Punch looking down on Charley's Aunt. The caption below reads 'Mr Punch, ?Still Running My Dear, But You Haven?t Beaten Me Yet!? Charley?s Aunt, ?But Then I?m Still So Young You Know'. The artist is John Hassall (21 May 1868 ? 8 March 1948).
