EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and witness the enchanting spectacle of 'The Spring Chicken' by George Grossmith, a novelty promotional postcard from the Folies Dramatiques in Paris, first produced at the Gaiety Theatre on May 30, 1905. This postcard, featuring a charming young woman in a chicken coop, is a testament to the theatrical innovation of the early 1900s. Published by Adolphe Jaime & George Dunval, this cardboard cut-out flyer operates by a tab at the back, allowing the young woman to move in and out of the coop, adding an element of surprise and delight. The play, which was presented by the George Edwardes Company, was a popular entertainment sensation of its time, with music by Ivan Caryll and Lionel Monckton. 'The Spring Chicken' was a pantomime, a theatrical form of comedy and music that was prevalent during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Pantomimes were known for their lavish productions, colorful costumes, and interactive performances, making them a favorite among audiences. This postcard is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the whimsical and playful nature of theatrical promotions during the 1905 era. It is a reminder of the enduring appeal of live entertainment and the creativity that has always been a part of the stage.
