English term

music-halls

English to German Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Margaret Thatcher\'s biography
Grandmother Stephenson, Beatrice's mother, who lived with them until her death when Margaret was ten, reinforced the parental sententiousness with her own Victorian dose. They escaped her disapproval of music-halls only on summer holidays to Skegness where, living in self-catering accommodation, after exercising in the public gardens they would go to a music-hall and join in the singing.

Variete-Theater

lt. Eintragung im Wörterbuch (Wordsworth Concise German Dictionary) would include all kinds of entertainment; maybe this is what the grandmother was objecting to... it could well include singing, but not exclusively..
