Sounds like it was economies of space or typeprinters ink that determined what could be fitted in. Historically playbill size and place was determined who was top of the bill and running orders (and payment). Unless there was a specific change of band name dropping the The , the playbills without it, implied it.

Would love to see a bill with no The on it at all. Rolling Stones, Who, Faces, Shadows, Move, Beatles,

Though of course
Slade, Genesis, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Steeleye Span, Lindisfarne would all look wrong with a The. Main group that changed that I can think of
Status Quo, Any others ?
