EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting caricature from 1929, the captivating revue star, Shirley Kellogg, is depicted walking among the audience on the joy-plank of London's famed Hippodrome Theatre. Known for her playful and engaging performances, Shirley would often throw flowers to the gentlemen in the stalls, adding an extra touch of excitement and romance to the WW1-era revues. The joy-plank, or gang-plank as it was also called, served as a bridge between the stage and the audience, allowing Shirley to connect intimately with her fans. This unique interaction between performer and spectators was a hallmark of the lively and entertaining shows that graced the London Hippodrome during this era. Shirley's radiant smile and the adoring expressions of the men in the audience perfectly encapsulate the magical atmosphere of a night at the theatre. This image, brought to you by Mary Evans Prints Online, is a delightful reminder of the enchanting world of live entertainment that flourished in London during the 1920s.
