| | Dan Lowrey's Star of Erin Music Hall | Dublin 1879 - 1897 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18) |
 | | This image, from a programme cover, shows the interior of the popular Dublin theater which opened at Crampton Court in 1879 (and with which Joyce was certainly familiar). |
 | | The term "music hall" as an art form refers to a type of variety entertainment that flourished in the mid-19 |
 | | Music hall performances often featured mixed bills of melodramas, ballads, light opera, popular songs, recitations, sketches, solo turns, and American-style minstrel routines, ranging in tone from the comical to the sentimental to the risqué. |
