EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a delightful moment from the 1930 musical comedy, 'Nippy,' starring the renowned British actress Binnie Hale in the title role. The scene finds Hale, dressed in the iconic uniform of a Lyons Corner House waitress - complete with a crisp white pinny and red apron - engaging in a playful interaction with Arthur Riscoe as Crumpet. The musical comedy, written by Arthur Wimperis and Austin Melford, with music by Billy Mayerl and lyrics by Wimperis and Frank Eyton, opened in the West End in 1930 and became an instant hit of the 1930s. The show, set in the popular Lyons Corner Houses, showcased the wit and charm of its characters as they navigated the trials and tribulations of love and life in the bustling cafes. In this scene, Hale's character, Nippy, and Riscoe's Crumpet share a lighthearted moment, adding to the overall joy and merriment of the production. The photograph, a snapshot of a bygone era, transports us back to the golden age of musical theatre and reminds us of the timeless appeal of a well-crafted comedy.
