EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Merry and Bright Burlesque of the Famous Production This delightful vintage flyer invites audiences to the Palace Theatre in Tottenham for an entertaining take on the popular rooster play, "Chanteclair," produced by Joe Peterman and Geo Ricketts' company. First introduced at the Oxford Music Hall on June 20, 1910, with music by Frank Leedham, this production had already gained significant popularity, as reported by The Era on April 30, 1910. The image on this flyer showcases a striding chicken, donning a top hat, cane, and smoking a cigar, adding a whimsical touch to the burlesque presentation. The play, based on Edmund Rostand's "Chantecler," which premiered on February 7, 1910, had become a sensation in the music halls. The Palace Theatre production, dated October 3, 1910, promises a night filled with laughter and enjoyment. The captions on the flyer, "A Merry and Bright Burlesque of the Famous Production" and "A Feathered Fantasy in Three Fyttes," further emphasize the lighthearted and amusing nature of the show. This charming flyer is a fascinating glimpse into the theatrical world of over a century ago, offering a unique blend of humor and theatrical innovation.
