Bonzo Studdy

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from 1927, the famous English comedian and actor, Studdy Vivian, better known by his stage name Bonzo, is seen being apprehended by a policeman. The image, titled "Bonzo collared by the police for stealing a goose," is a humorous depiction of an unexpected turn of events in the life of this beloved entertainer. Bonzo, a master of physical comedy, was known for his outrageous antics and mischievous personality both on and off-screen. His performances often involved him getting into various forms of trouble, making this photograph a fitting representation of his on-stage persona. The photograph is believed to have been taken during a publicity stunt or perhaps during the filming of one of his comedic skits. The goose in question is nowhere to be seen, but Bonzo's expression of surprise and embarrassment is enough to suggest that he has been caught red-handed. Despite the seemingly serious situation, Bonzo's fans would have found this image amusing and further endeared themselves to the charismatic performer. The photograph is a testament to Bonzo's ability to bring joy and laughter to people, even in the most unexpected of circumstances. This image, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the life of a beloved entertainer and the world of early 20th century British comedy. It is a reminder of the enduring power of humor to bring people together and lighten the mood, even in the most unexpected of situations.
