EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of determination and patriotism among the cast members of Tony Draws a Horse at the Comedy Theatre in London during World War II. The image, dated 1939, showcases three actresses - Miss Kay Astor, Miss Janet Johnson, and Miss Hayley Bell - who were not only active on the stage but also made significant contributions to the war effort in their respective roles. At the center of the photograph is Miss Kay Astor, who divides her time between the Comedy Theatre and the operating theatre as a nurse. Her dedication to both her art and her country exemplifies the resilience and adaptability of the British people during this tumultuous period. To the left of Miss Astor is Miss Janet Johnson, who dons the uniform of a firewoman. Her courage and strength in the face of danger are evident as she bravely serves her community during this time of crisis. Lastly, Miss Hayley Bell, who is pictured on the right, is an ambulance driver. Her role in transporting the wounded and injured to safety is a testament to her selflessness and compassion. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by women during the war, as they took on roles traditionally held by men and worked tirelessly on the front lines to support the war effort. The cast members of Tony Draws a Horse, like many other women during this era, demonstrate the true meaning of service and dedication to their country during a time of national crisis.
