EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Captivating Moment from the 1250th Performance of the Musical Comedy at the Opera House in Tunbridge Wells (1907) This enchanting image captures a scene from the 1250th performance of the popular musical comedy, "The Dairymaids," at the Opera House in Tunbridge Wells on August 26, 1907. The musical comedy, with music by Paul Rubens and Arthur Frank Tours, was first produced at the Apollo Theatre in London on April 14, 1906. In this delightful illustration, we see the comic character, Joe Mivens, played by an unidentified actor, attempting to make a hasty escape. However, his plans are thwarted as he is unable to move his car, which is cleverly tied to a post. The dairymaids, with their winsome smiles and determined expressions, have outwitted the sailor once again. The illustration is a souvenir of the production, created by the renowned artist John Hassall for Robert Macdonald's Co. touring company. The image is filled with charming details, such as the dairymaids' colorful dresses, the car's smokestack belching out smoke, and the sailor's exaggerated facial expression as he puffs on his pipe. The musical comedy, "The Dairymaids," was a huge success, with its catchy tunes and delightful performances keeping audiences entertained for over a thousand shows. This image serves as a testament to the enduring popularity of the production and the magical moments that unfolded on stage. Alexander M. Thompson and Robert Courtneidge, the creators of this enchanting musical comedy, brought joy and laughter to countless audiences, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of theatre. This moment from the 1250th performance at the Opera House in Tunbridge Wells is a reminder of the timeless appeal of live entertainment and the magic that unfolds when art and music come together.
