Culture:
In music hall performers sang cheerful, sometimes rather rude, songs and danced in bright costumes, or performed acts of skill. Some of them, such as Marie Lloyd and George Robey, became very famous. Music halls were often called ‘the Palladium’, ‘the Palace’, ‘the Hippodrome’, or ‘the Empire’, names which were kept later when many of them became cinemas
