Metal Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
Cartoon, Two Obadiahs, the morals of the stage
Cartoon, Two Obadiahs. " Why don t you write an article on the morals of the stage? You ought to know something."... " What do you think?" Possibly a reference to J Willing Senior and J Willing Junior, known as the Two Obadiahs, although James Willing was actually a pseudonym for John Thomas Douglass (1842-1917), manager of the Standard Theatre, Shoreditch, London. It is not clear whether the younger Willing existed or was simply just another pseudonym, to avoid Douglasss name appearing as the author of too many plays.

Two Obadiahs
EDITORS COMMENTS
- a intriguing and enigmatic cartoon from the 1880s, featuring two men identified as Obadiah, with one asking the other why he hasn't written an article on the morals of the stage. This intriguing exchange may be a reference to the famous theatrical figures J. Willing Senior and J. Willing Junior, also known as the Two Obadiahs. However, it is important to note that James Willing was actually a pseudonym for John Thomas Douglass, the manager of the Standard Theatre in Shoreditch, London. The existence of a J. Willing Junior is unclear, and it is possible that this was simply another pseudonym used to avoid Douglass' name being associated with too many plays. The cartoon, published in Alfred Bryan's "The Illustrated London News" on March 14, 1885, during the late Victorian era, highlights the importance of morality in the theatre and the role of the press and media in shaping public opinion. The stage was a powerful influence on society during this time, and the morals portrayed on stage were closely scrutinized by the press and the public. The cartoon's caption, "entracte, entr'acte, acte, cartoon, cartoons, theatre, stage, morals, morality, journalism, press, media," emphasizes the interconnectedness of these various elements and the role they played in shaping public discourse. The use of the word "entracte," which refers to the interval between acts in a play, highlights the idea that the cartoon itself is a form of intermission entertainment, providing commentary and reflection on the moral themes presented on stage. Overall, this intriguing cartoon offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex relationship between theatre, morality, and the media during the late Victorian era. It serves as a reminder of the power of art and journalism to shape public opinion and spark important conversations about the values and ethics of society.
