EDITORS COMMENTS
by Ian Hay and Stephen King-Hall: A Timeless Comedy of Naval Wooing and Economy Expertise Step back in time to the roaring twenties and the early 1930s with this photograph from a production of "The MidshipMaid" by Ian Hay and Stephen King-Hall, first staged at the prestigious Shaftesbury Theatre on August 10, 1931. This delightful comedy with musical interludes offers a charming blend of humor, romance, and naval intrigue. Sir Percy Newbiggin, a pompous economy expert, arrives in Malta to assess potential expenditure cuts within the Naval Fleet. Accompanying him is his beautiful daughter, Celia, who soon becomes the center of attention for the dashing young officers. As the competition for Celia's affections heats up, Sir Percy decides to leave the economics to the Navy and allows his daughter to marry the son of the First Sea Lord. This photograph, circa 1931, captures the essence of the theatrical production and the spirit of the era. The Naval ratings, adorned in their uniforms, can be seen decorating the stage with the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea in the background. The comedic chemistry between the characters is palpable, making for an enjoyable and entertaining experience. "The MidshipMaid" is a testament to the popularity of pantomime and comedies during the 1930s. This photograph serves as a window into the past, providing a glimpse into the world of live theatre during an era of innovation and creativity.
