EDITORS COMMENTS
by J.M. Barrie: A Timeless Tale of Dreams and Surprise Step into the magical world of "A Kiss for Cinderella" as depicted in this enchanting promotional postcard from 1916. The image captures the essence of Barrie's beloved play, which first graced the stage at Wyndhams Theatre on March 16, 1916, and was later revived at the Kingway Theatre on December 23, 1916. The heroine, with her dreamy expression and ethereal aura, longs for the magic and wonder of fairy tales. Her friends and family have affectionately dubbed her "Cinderella," and as she gazes into the distance, her dreams seem to come alive. The Madonna-like figure by her side is believed to be her fairy godmother, guiding and protecting her in her time of need. The backdrop of World War I adds an extra layer of intrigue and longing to the tale. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of the war, the theatre provided a much-needed escape for audiences, offering a moment of popular entertainment and joy. "A Kiss for Cinderella" was a beloved pantomime (panto) that brought smiles and laughter to theatregoers, transporting them to a world of dreams and surprise. In this scene, the unexpected happens when a policeman proposes to Cinderella, adding a delightful twist to the classic fairy tale. This image serves as a reminder that sometimes, the most unexpected moments can lead to the greatest happiness. Join Cinderella on her magical journey and let the enchantment of "A Kiss for Cinderella" by J.M. Barrie sweep you off your feet.
