EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant world of 1920s London nightlife with this scene from the musical comedy "Sunny" at the Hippodrome Theatre. The photograph, dated 1926, features an enchanting moment from the production, with Nancy Lovett (center) and Jack Buchanan (to her right) sharing a playful dance. Surrounding them are Binnie Hale (left), Jack Hobbs (behind Buchanan), and Maidie Hope (behind Lovett), all dressed in their finest attire, ready to entertain the lively audience. The jazz-infused production of "Sunny" was a sensation in the 1920s, bringing a touch of glamour and excitement to the London stage. The scene depicted here takes place in a beautiful garden setting, where the performers seem to be in the midst of a winter tip-toe dance. Dorothy Dickson, the original star of the show, was known for her iconic high-kick dance moves, which were a staple of the production. The Hippodrome Theatre, located in Leicester Square, was a popular destination for Londoners seeking an escape from the ordinary. The theatre was renowned for its extravagant productions and world-class entertainers, making it the place to be seen during the 1920s. With a cast of talented performers, "Sunny" was a must-see show, leaving audiences tapping their feet and humming the catchy tunes long after the curtain closed. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the magic of the past, offering a glimpse into the age of jazz, nightlife, and theatre that defined the 1920s. It serves as a reminder of the enchanting world that once was and the enduring power of live entertainment to captivate and delight.
