EDITORS COMMENTS
A Nostalgic Journey Back in Time: Flo Hastings and Wee Georgie Wood Reunite with Their Past at the National Film Theatre in 1966 In this evocative photograph, two legendary music hall performers, Flo Hastings and Wee Georgie Wood, are seen engrossed in a screening of rare clips of early music hall acts at the National Film Theatre in London, in 1966. The duo, who rose to fame in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, are surrounded by the flickering images of their past, transported back in time through the magic of cinema. Flo Hastings, born in 1880, was a popular comedienne and singer, known for her quick wit and engaging stage presence. Her career spanned over five decades, and she was a regular performer at the famous Alhambra Theatre in London. In this photograph, she wears a stylish hat and coat, her expression reflecting a mixture of nostalgia and delight as she watches herself performing on stage in 1890. Wee Georgie Wood, born in 1894, was a diminutive comedian, standing at just 4 feet 7 inches tall. He was known for his cheeky charm and slapstick comedy routines, which delighted audiences for over 50 years. In this image, he sits next to Hastings, his eyes fixed on the screen, a broad smile on his face as he reminisces about his own early days on the music hall circuit. The screening of these rare clips at the National Film Theatre was a significant event in the history of British entertainment, offering a unique opportunity for these two veteran performers to reconnect with their past and reflect on the evolution of their craft. The photograph captures a moment of shared history and mutual appreciation, a testament to the enduring appeal of music hall entertainment and the indomitable spirit of those who brought it to life.
