Souvenir Program from The Jubilee Show, a musical extravaganza held in July of 1946 for the city’s Diamond Jubilee. The artist responsible for the cover art is H. Edwards.
I found some media coverage which mentions the show in this issue of the Jewish Western Bulletin, a newspaper whose masthead bears a striking resemblance to that of Illustrated Vancouver!! Uncanny!
I also spotted a copy of this program for sale at Antiquarius books, a bookstore that was previously located in the Dominion Building in downtown Vancouver, now solely selling books on the Internet (situated in Falkland, BC). They got the date wrong though, presuming it was from the Golden Jubilee in 1936 instead of the Diamond Jubilee of 1946.
