EDITORS COMMENTS
was a popular theatrical production first brought to life at the Lyric Theatre in London on November 11, 1909. Composed by Leslie Stuart with a book by Owen Hall, this musical extravaganza was a sensation, with its catchy tunes and lively dance numbers. The title "Florodora" did not refer to a character, but rather to a perfume marketed by a millionaire landowner, who unsuccessfully wooed the heroine, Dolores. This promotional postcard from 1916 showcases a captivating image of Dolores, standing gracefully on a pristine beach in the Philippines. The sun sets behind her, casting a warm glow over the tranquil scene. Dolores wears an elegant white dress and holds a fan in one hand, while the other hand points towards the horizon, inviting the audience to join her on a journey to the Theatre Royal in Dewsbury. The tour was set to begin on January 10, 1916, promising an evening of popular entertainment filled with comedy, music, and variety. The 1910s were a golden age for the theatre, with productions like "Florodora" showcasing the best of comedies, plays, and musicals. This postcard is a testament to the enduring appeal of live performance and the magic it brings to audiences, transporting them to far-off lands and immersing them in captivating stories. Whether it was the enchanting music of Leslie Stuart or the allure of the exotic Philippines, "Florodora" offered something for everyone, making it a must-see production of the era.
