EDITORS COMMENTS
This promotional postcard showcases a scene from the 1930 production of "The Girl Friend," an American comedy revue adapted by R.P. Weston and Bert Lee, with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Lorenz Hart. The show premiered at the Palace Theatre in London on September 8, 1927, and later toured to the Theatre Royal in Bath on August 11, 1930. The image features a dapper man in a stylish suit, exuding confidence and charm, while a playful and alluring woman in a flapper dress gazes at him with a mischievous grin. The artist, John Hassall, masterfully captures the essence of the 1930s theatrical scene with his vibrant and expressive brushstrokes. "The Girl Friend" was a popular and successful revue, blending comedy, music, and pantomime elements to entertain audiences during the thirties. The American origin of the show is reflected in the man's suit, which exudes an air of sophistication and modernity. The postcard serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of live entertainment during this era. The postcard is a testament to the enduring appeal of classic theatre and the artistry of those who brought these productions to life. It is a reminder of the joy and excitement that live performances brought to audiences during the 1930s, and continues to inspire and captivate us today.
