dc.description.abstractChallenging the enduring reputation of the metropolitan music hall as a site of jingoistic patriotism during the First World War, this chapter explores its theatre as the product of an unprecedented negotiation between a mature mass entertainment industry and the economic and political demands of total war. It focuses on three London halls - the Coliseum, the Oxford and the Empire. Their varied responses to such factors as government intervention, changing audiences and the competition of cinema, it suggests, traces both a resilient adaptation to new circumstances and the ultimate transformation of the music hall from an innovative cultural industry to a repository of national tradition.en
