Oh! I Say!!
EDITORS COMMENTS
was a popular British musical comedy that graced the stages of London and Colchester in the early 1910s. This postcard image, taken circa 1913, showcases a scene from the production at the Hippodrome Theatre in Colchester, Essex. Previously staged at the Criterion Theatre in London, the show's success led to its expansion to this picturesque English town. The image features an enchanting moment from the production, as a radiant bride, dressed in her elegant white gown, exchanges vows with her dapper groom. Surrounded by a sea of admiring spectators, the couple's love shines brightly, illuminated by the warm, sepia tones of the photograph. The bride holds a beautiful bouquet of flowers, adding a touch of natural beauty to the scene. The theatre itself, the Hippodrome, is a grand and ornate structure, a testament to the opulence of the era. The stage is adorned with intricate set pieces and theatrical flourishes, creating an atmosphere of excitement and wonder. The atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of the French actors Suzette, Marcel Durosel, and Jules Durportal, who graced the stage in this production. Their involvement added an international flair to the already captivating production. This postcard, from the Michael Diamond Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of British theatre and the enchanting world of musical comedy in the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of love and the magic of live performance.
