EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating farce by renowned American playwright George A. Broadhurst, marking another brilliant addition to his theatrical repertoire, following the successful production of "What happened to Jones." This poster, dated around 1899, offers an intriguing glimpse into the plot of Broadhurst's latest work. The image features a puzzled-looking Smith, with a suitcase in hand, standing outside his home. His expression suggests confusion and perhaps even a hint of regret. The title of the play, "Why Smith left home," is emblazoned across the top, accompanied by the author's name, "By George A. Broadhurst," and the subtitle, "A Farce in Three Acts." The intrigue deepens as one notices the curious expressions and reactions of the other characters in the poster. A woman, possibly Smith's wife, looks on with a mixture of shock and concern, while a man, perhaps a friend or neighbor, seems amused by the situation. The overall composition of the poster exudes a sense of mystery and excitement, leaving the viewer eager to unravel the reasons behind Smith's sudden departure from his home. Broadhurst's reputation as a master of farce is evident in this poster. His ability to weave intricate and humorous plots continues to captivate audiences, making "Why Smith left home" an anticipated theatrical event. This poster serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Broadhurst's work and the power of the stage to transport and entertain.
