EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing postcard showcases a captivating scene from the 8th London Hippodrome Revue of 1918, titled 'Box O Tricks.' The reverse side of the postcard, featuring a mesmerizing act by Albert de Courville and Wal Pink, invites the viewer to explore the mysteries of the stage. The Revue, which was staged by the renowned Ned Wayburn, boasted an impressive cast including Shirley Kellogg and Harry Tate, as well as Cicely Debenham, Daphne Pollard, and Tom MacNaughton. The music for this spectacular production was composed by Dave Stamper and Frederick Chapelle. The image on this side of the postcard offers a tantalizing glimpse into the world of illusion and deception. De Courville and Pink, with their moustaches at the ready, prepare to perform an extraordinary trick that leaves the audience in awe. The mechanism for spinning the moustache, as the caption on the reverse side playfully suggests, can be found on the other side of the postcard. The London Hippodrome Revues were renowned for their extravagant productions and innovative acts, and this particular performance by de Courville and Pink was undoubtedly a highlight. The Daily Mail, in their Beggars Description, captured the essence of the Revue's enchanting allure, inviting the reader to experience the magic for themselves.
