EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of 'The One Girl' by Henry Blossom, as depicted in this promotional postcard from the 1916 production at the Opera House in Northampton. This theatrical masterpiece, originally titled 'The Only Girl' and composed by Victor Herbert with music published by Victor, first premiered in England on September 25, 1915, after its successful run in New York at the 30th Street Theatre on November 2, 1914. The image on this postcard, featuring the enchanting girl in the center, was revised for the English production by Fred Thompson. The girl, dressed in a flowing white gown, stands confidently amidst the backdrop of Apollo's temple, surrounded by mythical creatures and theatrical props. The ethereal atmosphere of the pantomime, a popular form of entertainment during the early 20th century, is beautifully captured in this artwork by E.P. Kinsella. As the world was embroiled in the First World War (WW1), the escapism offered by 'The One Girl' provided a much-needed respite for audiences. The George Dances Company brought this beloved production to the Opera House in Northampton on September 18, 1916, allowing locals to experience the magic of the stage and lose themselves in the story of 'The One Girl.' This postcard is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the allure of live theatre during a time when it was a cherished form of popular entertainment. The image of the girl, standing strong amidst the fantastical setting, serves as a reminder of the power of art and imagination to transport us to other worlds, even in the most challenging of times.
