EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and experience the hilarious farce that swept the London stage in 1913, "The Girl Who Didn't"! Originally titled and produced as "The Laughing Husband" at the New Theatre on October 2nd, this theatrical gem saw a title change when it was transferred to the Lyric Theatre on December 18th of the same year. Featuring the iconic image of "I'm Coming With You On Your Honeymoon," this promotional postcard, designed by the renowned artist John Hassall, captures the play's lighthearted and comedic spirit. With music by E. Eysler, this popular entertainment brought laughter to audiences during the early 1900s. A farcical revue, "The Girl Who Didn't" was a pantomime-style production filled with comedies and comedic sketches. The image on the postcard showcases the play's leading lady, dressed in her wedding finery, as she playfully tries to prevent her husband from leaving on their honeymoon. This piece of theatre history is a testament to the enduring power of comedy and the popularity of live entertainment during the 1900s and 1910s. So, join the fun and immerse yourself in the laughter and merriment of "The Girl Who Didn't," as depicted in this charming promotional postcard from Mary Evans Prints Online.
