EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative tableau from the patriotic revue 'Not Likely' at the Alhambra Theatre in Leicester Square, London, encapsulates the spirit of unity and determination among the Allies during World War I. The scene features Hilda Dick as Britannia, Madge Thorpe as Russia, Rose Sullivan as France, and Doris Woodger as Belgium. Dressed in resplendent costumes adorned with national symbols such as the Union Jack, Marianne's Phrygian cap, the Russian trident, and the Belgian shield, these actresses embodied the strength and resilience of their respective countries. Theatrical revues like 'Not Likely' were popular forms of entertainment during this period, providing a much-needed distraction from the harsh realities of war. They also played a significant role in persuading men to join the armed forces, as the patriotic fervor and sense of duty instilled by such performances resonated deeply with audiences. The Defenders of Europe tableau, captured in 1914, stands as a testament to the powerful impact of art and performance on morale during times of conflict. The women on stage, with their proud and defiant poses, served as living embodiments of the unwavering commitment of the Allies to defend Europe against the forces of darkness. This image is a poignant reminder of the collective spirit that carried Europe through the trials and tribulations of the First World War.
