Dan Leno’s Top Hat. Memories of “ stars ” of other days were recalled at the London Coliseum recently, when relics of famous artists of a bygone generation were put up for auction in aid of the Variety Artists’ Benevolent Fund. The “ topper ” worn by the late Dan Leno at his last performance at the Tivoli, the famous music hall in the Strand, which has long since disappeared, was knocked down for sixteen guineas, while Leno’s silver snuffbox brought thirty-six guineas.
