EDITORS COMMENTS
Delightful: A Treasured Memory of the Gaiety Theatre, Macedonia in 1918 This photograph captures the charming presence of Weston Drury as Ferdie Fittitt in the production of "Delighted" at the renowned Gaiety Theatre in Macedonia. The Gaiety Theatre, known for its popular amateur theatricals, was a beloved entertainment venue for the First World War troops stationed in the region. Sergeant Weston Drury, a prolific writer and actor, penned many of the productions at the Gaiety Theatre, often taking on the role of the dame. Drury's theatrical career spanned over several decades, and he passed away on 15th February 1983, leaving behind a rich legacy in the world of amateur theatre. The reverse of this unstamped print bears a heartfelt inscription from Percy to Grace, dated December 1918, from Bulgaria. This poignant reminder of the past adds an extra layer of history to this delightful image of Drury in his trademark Trilby hat, complete with a feather, moustache, and spotted tie with an edged lapel. The Gaiety Theatre's pantomimes were so popular that they were even printed in book form, providing a lasting record of the troops' theatrical endeavors during their time in Macedonia. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of the arts to bring joy and connection, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
