EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and prepare to be transported back in time with this programme cover for the 1925 production of 'Better Days' at the iconic London Hippodrome. Designed by the renowned Julian Wylie and illustrated by the talented Paul Chesney, this artwork perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the Roaring Twenties. The illustration showcases a lively jazz band in full swing, their instruments gleaming under the bright stage lights. The elegantly dressed audience members, some tapping their feet and others clapping along, are lost in the music, their faces alight with joy and excitement. The Art Deco design elements, such as the intricate geometric patterns and the bold use of color, further emphasize the opulence and glamour of the era. Julian Wylie was a celebrated theatre producer and impresario, known for his innovative and groundbreaking productions. Paul Chesney, on the other hand, was a prominent illustrator and graphic designer, whose work graced the covers of numerous publications and advertisements during the 1920s. Together, they created a visual masterpiece that perfectly captures the energy and excitement of the era. 'Better Days' was a musical revue, a popular form of entertainment during the 1920s that featured a series of musical numbers, sketches, and dance routines. The production was undoubtedly a hit, judging by the packed audience in this illustration. With its lively music, dazzling visuals, and infectious energy, it's easy to see why 'Better Days' was a must-see event in London's vibrant theatrical scene of the 1920s.
