EDITORS COMMENTS
This promotional postcard invites us to experience the hilarious comedy, 'The Man from Mexico,' at the Grand Theatre in Oldham during 1911. Originally staged at the Strand Theatre in London in the early 1910s, this production brought laughter and joy to audiences across the UK. The Man from Mexico, featuring Stanley Cooke as the lead, tells the comical tale of a man from Mexico who arrives in England with a mysterious bottle of tonic that promises to cure the blues. With a blend of slapstick humor and light-hearted satire, the show was sure to provide an entertaining evening for all. The image on this postcard showcases the vibrant atmosphere of the Grand Theatre, with its ornate decorations and grandiose architecture. The central focus is on the stage, where a scene from the production is being performed. Actor Joseph Waterfield, playing a supporting role, can be seen in the foreground, holding a bottle labeled 'Mexican Tonic.' The expression on his face suggests that he is about to deliver a humorous line, adding to the overall comedic effect. This postcard serves as a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th-century theatre and entertainment in the UK. It offers a unique insight into the production of 'The Man from Mexico' and the role that the Grand Theatre in Oldham played in bringing laughter and joy to its community.
