EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the comedic duo of George Robey and Alfred Lester in their iconic roles from "The Bing Boys are Here," a popular World War I revue at the Alhambra Theatre in London. The year was 1916, and audiences were treated to an evening of laughter and entertainment amidst the turmoil of wartime.
George Robey, known for his distinctive baggy trousers and eccentric stage presence, is seen here alongside Alfred Lester, both men exuding charm and wit as they bring their characters to life on stage. The energy between them is palpable, drawing viewers into their world of comedy and escapism.
The detailed illustration by John Hassall perfectly captures the essence of this dynamic duo, with every line conveying a sense of humor and camaraderie that made them beloved figures in British entertainment during this era. Their performance not only provided much-needed levity during a time of great uncertainty but also showcased the enduring power of laughter to unite people in even the darkest times.
As we look back on this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the timeless appeal of these two talented performers who brought joy to audiences through their unique brand of comedy. George Robey and Alfred Lester may have been stars of a bygone era, but their legacy lives on through images like this one that continue to delight viewers today.
