General notes:
The Rouken Glen Entertainers regularly performed from the early 1900s until after the First World War with a programme of songs and performers such as William Menzies, a young Blantyre miner who was a conjurer and ventriloquist.Discovering Rouken Glen Park, East Renfrewshire Council, 2016, p.71 describes this photograph as having been taken outside the Entertainment Hall at the Queen Mary Tea Gardens. The book goes on to say that the Tea Gardens had a concert hall which could seat 700. Normally an entrance ticket cost three or six pence but apparently passengers on Paisley cars could request Promenade tickets free.
