EDITORS COMMENTS
Oh! I Say!!", a charming and humorous musical comedy by Sydney Blow and Douglas Hoare, once graced the stage of the Pavilion Theatre in Weymouth, Dorset, during the early 1910s. This photograph, taken from the Criterion Theatre in London, offers a glimpse into the production's enchanting world. The image features a man, dressed in a smart suit and hat, standing in front of the theatre's grand entrance, Rue de la Victoire House. He is surprised and taken aback as he knocks on the door, only to be met with the unexpected sight of a young couple, a girl and a boy, playfully peering out from behind a window. The children, holding a bouquet and a suitcase filled with confetti, appear to have just returned from a wedding, adding to the joyful atmosphere. The man's luggage is visible in the foreground, hinting at his own travel plans or perhaps a visit to the theatre to witness the delightful antics of the "Oh! I Say!!!" cast. The scene is filled with a sense of excitement, surprise, and the promise of a wonderful theatrical experience. The photograph transports us back in time to the early 1910s, a period of social and cultural change, as theatres like the Pavilion Theatre in Weymouth continued to provide entertainment and escape for audiences. "Oh! I Say!!", with its witty dialogue, catchy tunes, and engaging performances, would have been the perfect escape for those seeking a moment of joy and laughter. This photograph, a precious piece of theatre history, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the laughter, the applause, and the magic that once filled the Pavilion Theatre in Weymouth.
