Ulster Literary Theatre

Front cover of a newspaper named The Republic
Another of Bulmer Hobson's enterprises was the Dungannon Clubs, whose newspaper was The Republic.[1] This is the first page of its very first issue in 1906, showing an advertisement for the Ulster Literary Theatre's production of plays by Mayne and Purcell (Parkhill). Ulster Minor Hall was another name for St Mary's Minor Hall. This copy is in the collection of the Ulster Museum.

The Ulster Literary Theatre was a theatre company in Ulster (Ireland, now also Northern Ireland) from 1904 to 1934. It had a differently named precursor in 1902, and by 1915 it was named just the Ulster Theatre. It was founded by Bulmer Hobson and David Parkhill[2][3] with patronage from Francis Joseph Bigger, who was also its first president.[4]
