EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of English music hall entertainer, Nellie Wallace, as she captivates her audience with her rendition of the popular ballad "Born on a Friday." Born Eleanor Jane Liddy on March 18, 1870, Wallace's untidy yet charming stage presence and powerful voice made her a beloved figure in the world of Variety entertainment. The image, taken in 1948, shows Wallace in her element, with a confident expression and a microphone in hand. Her costume, adorned with sequins and ruffles, adds to the festive atmosphere of the music hall. The backdrop of the photograph features ornate gold curlicues and a banner that reads "Variety," further emphasizing the historical significance of the moment.

Her performances were a reflection of the times, and she was able to bring joy and laughter to people during times of hardship and uncertainty. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of music and entertainment, and the ability of performers like Nellie Wallace to bring people together.
