EDITORS COMMENTS
All Trumps," a musical comedy revue by John P Harrington and Harry Lane, premiered at the Pavilion in Weymouth on February 15, 1915, and later moved to Middlesex in May of the same year. Harrington, a prolific librettist of music hall songs, teamed up with Lane to create an entertaining and captivating production that showcased an array of catchy tunes and comedic skits. The revue featured a diverse cast of performers, including women who dazzled audiences with their graceful movements and lively dances. One particular number, titled "Trump Card," showcased a woman in control as she manipulated a large, ornate trump card puppet, bringing it to life with her every move. The girlish charm and playful energy of the performer contrasted beautifully with the grandeur and size of the puppet, creating a delightful spectacle for the audience. The stage was set aglow with the warm, inviting atmosphere of a music hall, as the performers effortlessly transitioned from one number to the next. The revue was a testament to the power of live entertainment, with its ability to transport audiences to another world, even for just a few hours. "All Trumps" was a true celebration of the art of music and comedy, and its success can be attributed to the innovative and captivating performances of its talented cast. The production was a shining example of the vibrant and dynamic entertainment scene of the 1910s, and its influence can still be felt in the world of theatre and music today. This photograph captures a moment in time, preserving the magic and wonder of a bygone era. The image of the woman, poised and in control, with the large trump card puppet at her side, is a testament to the enduring power of live performance and the captivating allure of the music hall.
