EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of "The Guide to Paris," a modernized adaptation of Offenbach's beloved classic, "La Vie Parisienne," brought to life by the ingenious George Grossmith. This promotional flyer invites audiences to experience the Alhambra Theatre's production, first introduced on July 8, 1912. The vibrant image showcases the allure of Paris, with English tourists gazing in awe at the iconic Eiffel Tower, while the legendary Sarah Bernhardt steals the spotlight, posing playfully between a jockey and the President of France, bedecked in a red sash. The whimsical setting is further accentuated by the presence of windmills in the background, adding a touch of the pantomime to this theatrical extravaganza. "The Guide to Paris" was a popular and enduring piece of entertainment, drawing inspiration from Offenbach's original work, which premiered in 1866. This adaptation by George Grossmith, a renowned English actor, playwright, and caricaturist, ensured that the spirit of Offenbach's masterpiece was preserved while introducing it to a new generation of theatre-goers. This four-page flyer, filled with delightful illustrations and intriguing descriptions, promises an unforgettable night at the Alhambra Theatre. The play, a combination of music, comedy, and dance, offered a delightful escape into the heart of Paris, allowing audiences to indulge in the magic and charm of the City of Lights.
