EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the cast of the popular West End revue show, Chu Chin Chow, in an extraordinary display of patriotism during the final days of World War I. The image was taken at Her Majesty's Theatre in 1918, following the addition of an extra scene to the production on Armistice Night. In this scene, members of the cast donned costumes representing various Allied countries, showcasing their unity and shared victory. At the heart of the scene are the stars of the show, Oscar Asche and his wife, Lily Brayton, who are dressed as John Bull and Britannia respectively. John Bull, a symbol of English national character, and Britannia, the personification of Britain, embody the spirit of the Allied Powers and the resilience of the British people. Chu Chin Chow, a musical comedy with an exotic setting, had been a major success since its premiere in 1916. The addition of this patriotic scene was a testament to the show's ability to adapt and resonate with the times, reflecting the collective joy and relief felt by the nation as the war came to an end. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of entertainment during the First World War, showcasing the cast's commitment to their craft and their country. The image is a poignant reminder of the power of art and performance to bring people together and provide solace and hope in times of hardship.
