Duncans Royal Scotch collies, Sheffield, c. 1910

Duncans Royal Scotch collies appeared at the Sheffield Empire in March 1908 and August 1910, described as not called the canine actors for nothing. They can somersault, play the harmonium, and give a realistic representation of a fire, with rescues by the life-ladder, in a way that provokes both applause and amusement.
From an original at Sheffield Libraries: p01631

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Sheffield City Archives takes us back to a remarkable era of entertainment in Sheffield, circa 1910. The image showcases the legendary Duncans Royal Scotch collies, who were no ordinary canine actors. These talented dogs graced the stage of the Sheffield Empire in both March 1908 and August 1910, leaving audiences astounded by their extraordinary abilities. Described as "not called the canine actors for nothing" these clever collies could do much more than just fetch a stick. They possessed an incredible range of talents that included somersaults, playing the harmonium with finesse, and even delivering a realistic representation of a fire scene complete with daring rescues using life-ladders. Their performances never failed to elicit thunderous applause and contagious amusement from delighted spectators. The photograph captures one such moment during their awe-inspiring act at the theatre. It serves as a testament to their exceptional skills and undeniable charm. Preserved meticulously from an original source at Sheffield Libraries (p01631), this historical artifact allows us to relive those magical times when these four-legged stars took center stage. Let this image transport you back in time to witness firsthand why Duncans Royal Scotch collies became synonymous with unparalleled talent and unforgettable entertainment. As we admire this snapshot from Yorkshire's theatrical history, let us appreciate not only their remarkable abilities but also how they continue to captivate our hearts even after all these years.
