EDITORS COMMENTS
Be Careful Baby," a delightful bedroom farce by Salisbury Field and Margaret Mayo, first graced the stages of England in 1918 at the Theatre Royal in Plymouth, followed by a successful run at the Apollo Theatre in London. This production, which showcased a series of humorous misunderstandings and mishaps, was set against a backdrop of red and pink bedrooms, filled with their occupants in various states of surprise and amusement. The play, which premiered in March in Plymouth and opened in London in April, quickly gained popularity and embarked on a tour to the Devonshire Park Theatre in Eastbourne in December of the same year. The image captures the essence of this light-hearted production, with its charming bedroom setting and the promise of an entertaining evening at the theatre. "Be Careful Baby" was a welcome distraction for audiences during the 1910s, providing a much-needed respite from the challenges of daily life. The play's success is a testament to the enduring appeal of comedy and the power of live theatre to bring people together and create shared experiences. This photograph, taken during the London production, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when theatre was a cherished form of entertainment and a source of joy and laughter for all. The image is a reminder of the rich history of the stage and the enduring power of the arts to captivate and delight audiences, even in the most challenging of times. This image is from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection and is not to be used for commercial purposes without permission. It is a valuable historical document, offering a window into the world of theatre in the early 20th century.
