EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming cartoon, titled "Charles Harris - He maketh joy among the Supers," captures the jovial spirit of Charles Harris, the renowned supervisor of supernumeraries, or theatre extras, at London's prestigious Drury Lane Theatre during the 1880s. Harris is depicted here in his element, surrounded by a lively group of children who were part of the theatre's pantomime productions. Dressed in a plump figure and donning a top hat, Harris' hands are gesturing in a playful manner, as if inviting the audience to join in the fun. The image, published in the February 1884 edition of "Bryan's Entracte," a popular theatre magazine of the time, captures the essence of the Victorian theatre experience, where the joy and excitement of the production extended beyond the main performers to include the unsung heroes of the stage, the supernumeraries, under the loving guidance of Charles Harris. This delightful cartoon offers a unique glimpse into the world of theatre during the Victorian era, showcasing the camaraderie, energy, and infectious enthusiasm that brought joy to audiences night after night.
