EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment from the popular musical comedy "The Boy" (1917), based on A.W. Pinero's play "The Magistrate" (1885). Adapted by Fred Thompson and Percy Greenbank, the production featured music by Lionel Monckton and Howard Talbot. Originally premiered at the Adelphi Theatre in London on September 14, 1917, "The Boy" went on to run for an impressive 801 performances. At the heart of the comedy lies the central joke that the boy, due to his mother's age manipulation, is older than he appears. This delightful deception makes him an irresistible target for the eager young women and ladies, as seen in this image. The theatrical production was a massive success, bringing laughter and entertainment to audiences throughout the United Kingdom. As the touring company brought "The Boy" to the Theatre Royal in Bradford on May 13, 1918, the excitement and anticipation were palpable. Fred Thompson's comedic portrayal of the boy continued to captivate and amuse, making this musical comedy a beloved piece of theatrical history. With its timeless humor and memorable music, "The Boy" remains a cherished part of the stage comedy repertoire.
