EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from the 1880s, two prominent English thespians, Thomas Thorne (right, 1841-1918) and David James (left, 1839-1893), are seen in smart attire, engaged in a light-hearted moment backstage at London's Vaudeville Theatre. The founding managers of this esteemed establishment on the Strand, they were instrumental in shaping the theatre scene during the Victorian era. The upper corner of the image features an intriguing addition: a spider and its cobweb. This enigmatic detail is believed to be a nod to the architect of the Vaudeville Theatre building, C.J. Phipps (1831-1895), who was known for his distinctive architectural designs, which often incorporated elements of the natural world. Thomas Thorne, an accomplished actor and theatre manager, began his career in the mid-19th century and quickly rose through the ranks. He partnered with David James, a talented comic actor, to form a successful management team. Together, they brought new energy and innovation to the Vaudeville Theatre, attracting audiences with their diverse programming and exceptional productions. David James, known for his quick wit and comedic timing, was a favorite among theatre-goers. His ability to captivate audiences with his performances was a significant draw for the Vaudeville Theatre, which became a hub for entertainment in London during the 1880s. This photograph offers a glimpse into the camaraderie and creativity that flourished behind the scenes at the Vaudeville Theatre during this era. The spider in the corner, a subtle homage to the theatre's architect, adds an intriguing layer of mystery and intrigue to the image.
