EDITORS COMMENTS
- a captivating theatrical masterpiece brought to life by the creative collaboration of J. J. Bell and Laurence Therval, as depicted in this vintage postcard from 1911. The image, featuring the artist John Hassall's evocative rendition of the title character, invites us into the world of this popular pantomime play that first graced the stages of the Royalty Theatre in Glasgow on June 6, 1910, and later the Christina Playhouse Theatre on November 28, 1911. The story of "Oh Christina!" revolves around a spirited and shameless girl from the Glasgow slums, whose irreverent behavior and slangy language repeatedly elicited the shocked exclamation of "Oh Christina!" from a disapproving maiden aunt. Despite her rough exterior, Christina's warm heart and lovable nature endeared her to audiences, making this theatrical production a beloved staple of early 20th-century popular entertainment. This postcard, a testament to the enduring appeal of "Oh Christina!," showcases the theatrical magic that unfolded on the stage during those bygone eras. With its rich history and timeless charm, this work continues to captivate and delight audiences, inviting us to step back in time and experience the enchantment of the pantomime world.
