Theatrical postcards
Written by admin on 19 January, 2010 – 9:49 am -Music Hall
As well as being the golden age of the postcard itself, the Edwardian period was also the golden age of the music hall. Although popular, more refined nights out such as the opera or ballet had nothing on this form of entertainment. Knockabout fun is perhaps the most apt description of music hall.
Actors
Stars like Gladys Cooper, Marie Studholme, Camille Clifford, Henry Irving, Henry Ainley, Albert Chevalier, Gaby Deslys, Vesta Tilley and the great Marie Lloyd played to packed houses night after night. Postcards featuring them or their antics were produced by the likes of J. Beagles & Co. or the Rotary Photo Co. - both of London. They evoke the opulence of the theatres themselves and the smell of the greasepaint.
