by Cecil Raleigh and Henry Hamilton: A Dramatic Masterpiece of the Edwardian Era This promotional postcard showcases the theatrical production of "Sealed Orders" by Cecil Raleigh and Henry Hamilton, first staged at the prestigious Drury Lane Theatre on the 11th of September in 1913. The play, a scenic spectacle, boasts an on-stage battleship and a thrilling struggle to the death in an "air-ship," making it a must-see event for theatre-goers. The image on the postcard captures the intensity of the production, with two quarreling villains locked in a fatal struggle, plummeting out of an airship. The dramatic scene is a testament to the play's striking situations and amazing scenic effects, as described by a contemporary reviewer: "A genuine Drury Lane drama! A play of incident, of striking situations and amazing scenic effects! No one should miss it." The Hutchison Co. brought this theatrical tour de force to the Opera House in Northampton on the 10th of May in 1915. The production, a product of the early 1910s, offers a glimpse into the dramatic artistry of the Edwardian era. With its intriguing plot, captivating visuals, and thrilling action, "Sealed Orders" was a must-see theatrical event during the tumultuous period of the First World War. This postcard, a relic of a bygone era, serves as a reminder of the power of live theatre to transport and captivate audiences. The image, with its dramatic composition and evocative details, invites us to imagine the excitement and suspense that filled theatres during the early 20th century.
