EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating theatrical production that first graced the stages of the Shakespeare Theatre in Liverpool on September 15, 1919, and later the Criterion Theatre in London on November 11, 1919. This intriguing comedy, brought to life by the creative collaboration of Sidney Blow and Douglas Hoare, tells the story of Lord Richard, a young peer's son, who finds himself under a cloud of scandal and shame. In an attempt to escape his tarnished reputation and the judgmental eyes of society, Lord Richard disguises himself and takes on the humble role of a butler in the very household of the woman he loves. In this enchanting promotional postcard from the novel of the same name by Martin Swayne, we see Lord Richard (left) and the cook (right) engaged in a playful yet intriguing interaction in the pantry. The cook, with her matrimonial designs on the handsome butler, seems oblivious to the true identity of the man she is flirting with. The comedic chemistry between the two characters adds to the overall comedic tone of the production, making "Lord Richard in The Pantry" a must-see theatrical delight of the 1910s. This charming postcard, featuring the evocative artwork of Sidney Blow and Douglas Hoare, offers a glimpse into the world of popular entertainment during this era. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to experience the magic of the theatre and the comedic antics of Lord Richard and the cook in their pantomime-like interaction. A true testament to the enduring appeal of comedy and the transformative power of the stage, "Lord Richard in The Pantry" continues to captivate audiences even today.
