EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, children, and join The Happy Family for an enchanting theatrical experience at the Prince of Wales Theatre! This delightful promotional flyer invites young audiences to witness the charming production of The Happy Family, first presented on the Prince of Wales stage on December 18, 1916. Artfully crafted by the renowned artists Adrian Ross and Cecil Aldin, this play was designed with the joy and wonder of childhood in mind. The captivating image on the flyer, created by Cecil Aldin, features a lively scene of anthropomorphic animals – a pig, pigs, ducks, and rabbits – engaged in a delightful dance, led by the mischievous pig at the center. The play's title, "The Happy Family," is emblazoned across the top, accompanied by the name of the composer, Cuthbert Clarke, and the tagline, "Music by Cuthbert Clarke." The Happy Family was a popular pantomime or panto, a theatrical form of entertainment that combines music, comedy, dance, and storytelling. Pantomimes were known for their interactive nature, allowing children to engage with the performers and contribute to the show through call-and-response dialogue and audience participation. This flyer marks an exciting moment in the history of children's theatre at the Prince of Wales Theatre, offering a glimpse into the magical world of The Happy Family and the enchanting experience it offered to its young audience over a century ago.
