EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting moment when American composer, lyricist, and performer Melville Gideon (1884-1933) takes the spotlight in the popular variety revue show, The Co-Optimists. Dressed in a shiny, theatrical costume, Gideon sits at the piano, his fingers poised above the keys, ready to create music that would soon fill the Palace Theatre with light and laughter. Joining him on stage is his loyal canine assistant, Rube. The duo's unique act, which combined music, comedy, and the unexpected charm of a performing dog, was a crowd-pleaser during the show's run in the early 1920s. With a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face, Gideon effortlessly engages the audience, showcasing his exceptional talent as a singer, songwriter, and entertainer. The Co-Optimists, a popular variety revue that originally opened in London in 1921, was a testament to the golden age of light entertainment. This photograph, taken circa 1924, encapsulates the essence of showbiz during the 1920s – a time of innovation, creativity, and the joy of live performance. As Gideon and Rube prepare to captivate the audience with their act, one can't help but be transported back to an era where music, comedy, and the unexpected could bring people together in celebration and delight.
