EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on this delightful promotional postcard for the popular theatrical production, "The Headmaster" by Wilfrid T. Coleby and Edward Knoblauch, first staged at the Playhouse theatre on January 22, 1913. This image showcases a schoolboy in the throes of creativity, skillfully drawing a satirical cartoon of his headmaster. The headmaster's character is portrayed as a figure of fun, adding an element of mischief and humor to the production. Originally produced at the Playhouse theatre, "The Headmaster" went on to tour various venues, including the Richmond Hippodrome on June 18, 1915. The image on this postcard offers a glimpse into the play's lighthearted and entertaining nature, which made it a favorite among audiences during the early 1900s. The schoolboy's dedication to his craft is evident as he focuses intently on his easel, surrounded by various drawing tools and supplies. The use of easels on stage was a common feature in pantomimes and plays of the time, adding to the theatrical experience and showcasing the performers' talents. This satirical take on the headmaster character was likely a popular element of the production, allowing audiences to connect with the play on a personal level and adding a touch of humor to the performance. The postcard serves as a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th-century popular entertainment and the enduring appeal of satire and pantomime.
