According to The Daily Telegraph (11 September 1905), Salvation Army girls seated in the arena stalls wore white headdresses that spelt out the work 'WELCOME' in capital letters.
Following a film screening, yellow screens were removed from in front of the stage and there appeared, to the audience's surprise, General Booth in a large white car with red wheels and leather studded seat. |
