EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the end of an era, this print transports us back to the vibrant streets of Leicester Square in 1926. The Empire Theatre stands tall, adorned with signs that proudly announce the final live production before its transformation into a cinema. The musical Lady, Be Good starring the legendary duo Fred and Adele Astaire takes center stage, enticing passersby with promises of unforgettable performances. The image reveals a bustling scene outside the theater as crowds gather eagerly to witness this historic event. Men and women from all walks of life fill the street, their faces etched with anticipation and excitement. Despite being captured in black and white, one can almost feel the energy emanating from these individuals who have come together for one last night of live entertainment. As darkness descends upon London's streets, illuminated by flickering streetlights and glowing signs, there is an undeniable sense of nostalgia in the air. The theatre exterior exudes grandeur even amidst its worn-out appearance – a testament to countless memories created within those walls. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that change is inevitable but not without leaving behind traces of cherished moments. It immortalizes both a bygone era and an iconic landmark on the cusp of transformation – forever preserving this significant moment in history.
