EDITORS COMMENTS
Two captivating scenes from the London stage in the roaring twenties: at the top, the second act of Bunty Pulls the Strings, performed at the prestigious Garrick Theatre. In this lively jazz number, the charismatic Bunty, played by a human actor, pulls the strings of an unseen marionette orchestra, leading them in a spirited dance. The age of mechanical innovation had merged with the world of theatre, creating a unique blend of art and technology. At the bottom, the chorus of Tapping, a feature of Puppets at the Vaudeville Theatre, is shown in full swing. The 1920s were an era of dance crazes, and this scene encapsulates the infectious energy of the time. The chorus members, all human, tap their feet in perfect unison, their rhythmic movements mirroring the beats of the jazz music that filled the air. The 1924 production of Puppets was a groundbreaking show, combining live actors with intricate puppetry, and the chorus number was a highlight of the performance. These two scenes offer a glimpse into the vibrant and innovative world of London's theatre scene during the 1920s. The fusion of technology, music, and dance created a unique and unforgettable experience for audiences, making these shows a testament to the creativity and excitement of the era.
