BiographyHistory

Edward Jasper Doherty (known professionally as Edward Jasper) appears to have been operating as a Sydney-based theatrical manager during the early to mid-1910s. His name is connected with Jasper's Pantomime Company, which toured Harry Taylor's pantomimes Bluebeard and Humpty Dumpty and the musical comedy The Jam of Cathay under canvas (and occasionally in halls or theatres) throughout New South Wales and Victoria between 1913 and 1916.

Among the artistes engaged were Ted Stanley, Charles Howard, Con Moreni, Ernest Lashbrooke, Ida Ingersole and Olive Robinson.
