1931 Adelphi Drama Dramas Olive Panto Pantomime Promotional Snell Theatrical
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the world of glamour and intrigue with this promotional postcard of Grand Hotel, a theatrical masterpiece based on Vicki Baum's novel "Menschen im Hotel" (People at the Hotel). The image, created by artist Olive Snell, showcases the grandeur of the Grand Hotel, as it was first produced at the Adelphi Theatre on September 3, 1931. The 1930s were a golden age for popular entertainment, and Grand Hotel was no exception. This drama, filled with suspense and drama, became a staple of the stage and later inspired various film adaptations. The pantomime-like quality of the play, with its interconnected stories of various guests at the hotel, kept audiences on the edge of their seats. The postcard's vibrant colors and intricate details transport us back to the era of elegant ballgowns, tuxedos, and the thrill of live theatre. The Grand Hotel, with its imposing facade and welcoming entrance, stands as a symbol of luxury and mystery. The guests, both in the foreground and background, add to the intrigue, each with their own secrets and stories. This promotional postcard, produced in 1931, serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Grand Hotel and the magic of live theatre. It invites us to step into the world of the Grand Hotel and experience the drama, suspense, and intrigue for ourselves.
