A Butterfly on the Wheel
EDITORS COMMENTS
was a popular theatrical production that captured the public's imagination during the early 20th century. This promotional postcard showcases a dramatic scene from the play, depicting the Great Divorce Court. The image, created by Edward G. Hemmerde and F. Neilson, masterfully conveys the tension and intensity of the courtroom setting. The center of attention is the large, ominous Divorce Court wheel, symbolizing the unforgiving and often unfair legal system of the time. Surrounding the wheel are various figures, including barristers, judges, and onlookers, all caught up in the theatrics of the scene. The barristers, dressed in their formal robes and wigs, passionately argue their cases before the stern-faced judges. The audience, represented by the onlookers in the background, watches intently, their expressions a mix of curiosity, sympathy, and judgment. The overall atmosphere is one of drama and suspense, heightened by the theatrical lighting and the intricate details of the set design. The use of shadows and contrasting colors adds depth and texture to the image, further emphasizing the sense of anticipation and excitement. "A Butterfly on the Wheel" was a pantomime, a type of theatrical entertainment that combined music, dance, comedy, and drama, making it a popular form of popular entertainment during the era. The production ran for over 1,000 performances and was renowned for its elaborate sets, colorful costumes, and talented cast. This postcard serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of divorce courts and theatrical productions of the early 1900s.
