EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1904, Frank Allen, the manager and later managing director of the renowned London Hippodrome, and his partner in Moss Empires Ltd., sits confidently at the wheel of his twelve horsepower Eagle car. Accompanying him on this motoring adventure are Frank Parker, the stage manager of the Hippodrome, and Mr. Allen's daughters. The London Hippodrome, an iconic Edwardian entertainment venue located in Leicester Square, was known for its extravagant productions and diverse acts, including circus performances, variety shows, and even early film screenings. Frank Allen's successful tenure at the Hippodrome brought him great acclaim and wealth, allowing him to indulge in the latest technological advancements of the era, such as this powerful motor car.
