EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, taken in a London theatre in 1939, the tension and excitement of a knife-throwing act come to a sudden and unexpected halt. The assistant, with a look of shock and pain on her face, reacts to a cry from the audience as a knife intended for the target on her body misses its mark and grazes her head. The thrower, frozen in mid-throw, looks on in horror and disbelief, his expression mirroring the anxiety and fear of the audience members in the background. Despite the close call, the wound inflicted on the assistant was fortunately not fatal. The quick thinking and reflexes of both the thrower and the assistant prevented a tragic outcome, making this an accident that could have easily turned out much worse. The incident serves as a reminder of the inherent risks and dangers involved in live entertainment, and the importance of split-second decision-making and reaction times. The photograph captures a moment of suspense and drama, with the audience holding their breath in anticipation of the outcome. The image is a testament to the thrill and excitement of live theatre, as well as the raw human emotions and reactions that can make for unforgettable experiences. The incident also underscores the importance of safety measures and precautions in the entertainment industry, and the need for performers and technicians to work together to ensure the safety of all involved. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the world of live entertainment and the risks and rewards that come with it. It is a reminder of the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity, and the importance of staying focused and alert in the face of danger.
