EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image showcases a scene from the first production of "The Padre," an adaptation by Jose G Levy of the French novel "Mon Cure Chez Les Riches" by Pierre Chaine and Clement Vautel, originally penned by Vautel in 1923. The production premiered at the prestigious Lyceum Theatre in London on May 22, 1926. The Padre, played by an unnamed actor, is depicted in the foreground, his serious expression contrasting with the mischievous grins of the soldiers behind him. The Padre, with his pipe clenched between his teeth and a pipe organ at his side, seems to be conducting a makeshift orchestra of dogs. Soldiers, some with their dogs in tow, march in rhythm with the music, adding to the lively scene. The 1920s setting is evident in the soldiers' uniforms and the Padre's old-fashioned attire. The image exudes a sense of humor and lightheartedness, making it a delightful reminder of the era's theatrical productions. The postcard's caption, "mon, cure, chez, les, riches, 1926," references the original French title of the novel, which translates to "my cure at the rich people's," hinting at the comedic elements of the story. The Padre's adaptation by Jose G Levy brought the French novel to life on the London stage, allowing audiences to enjoy the wit and charm of the original work in a new format. This postcard is a captivating snapshot of the production, offering a glimpse into the world of "The Padre" and the lively energy of the 1920s theatre scene.
