Excuse Me,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating theatrical production adapted by Herbert C. Sargent from the American farce of the same title by Rupert Hughes, premiered in England at the Garrick Theatre on March 6, 1915. This revue was among several popular entertainments offered by Harry Day during the summer of 1915. The second edition of "Excuse Me" was later staged at the Kilburn Empire on August 2, 1916. This evocative photograph captures the essence of the comical production, with a woman, dressed in a windy outfit complete with a flowing scarf, attempting to maintain her balance in the face of a gusty breeze. Her hand holds a cigarette, adding an air of sophistication and nonchalance to her struggle against the elements. A man, wearing a boater hat and holding a straw hat, looks on amusedly as a cat and kitten playfully frolic in the foreground. The theatrical scene is further emphasized by the presence of a cat and kitten, reminding us of the light-hearted and comical nature of the farce. The woman's disheveled appearance and the man's amused expression add to the overall sense of humor and entertainment value of the production. "Excuse Me" was a popular success, with audiences drawn to its comedic antics and theatrical flair. The photograph serves as a glimpse into the past, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the world of early 20th century theater and the delightful productions that entertained audiences during this era.
