EDITORS COMMENTS
Falka's Royal Comedy Theatre: A Glance into the 1880s Theatrical World This image is a snapshot from a flyer advertising Falka's Royal Comedy Theatre, showcasing the comical character, Pelican, played by H.B. Farnie. Pelican, a plump and jovial lay brother, is depicted in the moment of longing, with a glass of wine in hand and a rosy expression on his face, as he exclaims, "I wanted that badly!" The managing directors of this popular entertainment venue were Auguste Van Biene and Mr. Horace Lingard. The theatre was known for its comedic performances, and Pelican, with his comical antics and glass of wine, was a crowd favorite. The flyer, adorned with theatrical flair, lists the upcoming performances and invites the public to attend. Pelican's sandaled feet and the simple monk's habit he wears add to the humorous appeal of the character. The image of Pelican, with his glass in hand, serves as a testament to the light-hearted and enjoyable atmosphere of Falka's Royal Comedy Theatre during the 1880s. The flyer's design is reminiscent of the era's theatrical style, with bold typography, intricate illustrations, and a sense of excitement and anticipation. The image of Pelican, with his expressive face and relatable moment of desire, continues to captivate audiences and offer a glimpse into the past of popular entertainment.
