EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting moment when Leslie Henson, one of the most beloved male entertainers of the First World War, graced the stage of the Prince of Wales Theatre in London during the production of 'Yes, Uncle!' in 1918. Henson, dressed in elegant evening wear, is surrounded by a delightful chorus of water-nymphs, their ethereal beauty adding to the magical atmosphere of the scene. The First World War brought about a surge in popular entertainment, and Henson, with his charisma and versatility, became a beacon of hope and joy for the war-weary public. 'Yes, Uncle!' was one of his most successful plays, which ran for over 1,000 performances and showcased his exceptional talent as an actor and entertainer. The photograph is a testament to the power of theatre to transport audiences to another world, even in the midst of the chaos and hardships of war. The chorus of water-nymphs, with their flowing gowns and delicate features, create a dreamlike atmosphere, offering a moment of respite from the harsh realities of the time. Leslie Henson's legacy as an entertainer extended beyond the First World War, and his contributions to the world of theatre continue to be celebrated to this day. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the arts to inspire, uplift, and bring people together, even in the most challenging of times.
