The original owner of Doyles Fancy Costumes was a Mr Doyle. The story goes that Mr Doyle was a Vaudeville performer, back when Variety Theatre was really popular. He had the most amazing costumes. He had trunks full of beautiful costumes, that accompanied him when he toured. As time went by and Vaudeville entertainment became less popular… radio improved, cinema became the new entertainment and people stopped going to the performances and subsequently it meant the end to the travelling show.
