EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on the enchanting image of The Pearl Girl, brought to life by the brilliant artistic skills of Basil Hood. This promotional postcard, featuring the music of Howard Talbot and Hugo Felix, was first introduced to audiences at the Shaftesbury Theatre on the 25th of September 1913. As the first World War raged on, theatres across the United Kingdom continued to provide much-needed escapism and entertainment for the people. The Pearl Girl, a popular pantomime or panto, was no exception. With its elaborate theatrical production, the play proved to be a great success, leading to tours to Broadway Theatre, New Cross, on the 1st of March 1915, and the Theatre Royal, Bournemouth, on the 29th of March 1915. The image on this postcard, beautifully rendered by R.P. Matthews, showcases the mesmerizing Pearl Girl, surrounded by a cascade of pearls. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the character to life, transporting us back in time to the 1910s and the magical world of live theatre. As we admire the elegance and allure of The Pearl Girl, we are reminded of the power of art and entertainment to bring joy and wonder to our lives, even in the most challenging of times. This postcard is not only a testament to the rich history of theatrical productions but also a reminder of the enduring charm and captivating stories that continue to captivate audiences today.
