EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and prepare to be enchanted by the magical world of the Birmingham Empire Theatre in 1926, as depicted in this advertisement from the archives of Mary Evans Picture Library. The image showcases the theatre's star performers, Pierrot and Columbine, taking a well-deserved bow before their adoring audience. Dressed in their iconic orange, cream, and black costumes, the masked duo embodies the charm and whimsy of the classic Commedia dell'Arte tradition. This theatrical masterpiece was brought to life under the expert direction of R.H. Gillespie, Managing Director of Moss Empires Ltd. The Empire Theatre, located in the heart of Birmingham, was a leading venue in the Midlands entertainment scene during the 1920s. With its opulent decor and state-of-the-art facilities, the theatre was the place to be for an unforgettable night out. As the curtain comes down on this performance, the anticipation builds for the next act. The theatre's grandeur and the allure of the stage are on full display, with the ornate gold trim and velvet curtains adding to the sense of excitement and wonder. The advertisement invites us to step into this magical world and become a part of the enchantment. Join Pierrot and Columbine as they take their final bow, and prepare to be transported to a realm of laughter, tears, and unforgettable memories at the Birmingham Empire Theatre. A true testament to the power of live performance, this advertisement is a treasure from a bygone era that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
