EDITORS COMMENTS
Black Velvet: An Intimate Rag of Wartime Entertainment at London's Hippodrome (November 19, 1939) Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War II, the London Hippodrome continued to provide a much-needed escape for the city's weary residents. In November 1939, the iconic venue unveiled its latest production, the Black Velvet revue, an intimate and dazzling spectacle that brought together some of the era's most beloved stars. The double-page spread in The Sketch magazine offers a tantalizing glimpse into the world of Black Velvet, with photographs capturing the essence of this wartime entertainment extravaganza. Iris Lockwood, Pat Kirkwood, Teddy Brown, Vic Oliver, and Carol Lynne grace the stage, their radiant smiles and captivating performances beckoning audiences to forget their worries, if only for a moment. George Black, the visionary producer behind the revue, masterfully crafted an evening of laughter, music, and dance that resonated with the spirit of the times. The Black Velvet revue was a testament to the indomitable nature of the human spirit, a celebration of the power of art and entertainment to bring people together, even in the darkest of times. Pat Kirkwood, a rising starlet with an infectious energy, dazzles in a sequence of glamorous costumes, her expressive face and magnetic stage presence drawing the audience in. Iris Lockwood, a seasoned performer, captivates with her sultry vocals and elegant demeanor. Teddy Brown, Vic Oliver, and Carol Lynne round out the cast, their combined talents weaving an intricate tapestry of music, comedy, and dance that left audiences breathless. As the photographs in The Sketch attest, the Black Velvet revue was a shining beacon of hope and joy in the midst of the chaos and uncertainty of wartime London. It serves as a poignant reminder of the power of art and entertainment to uplift and inspire, even in the most trying of times.
