EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the humorous and entertaining duo of Harry Mason and Lily Bart, also known as the Novelty Comedy Gymnasts of Brixton, London, in the height of their act around the year 1910. In this image, Harry Mason appears to assume the role of King George V, adding an extra layer of theatricality to their already amusing performance. The pair, dressed in colorful costumes and expressive facial expressions, exude an air of fun and lightheartedness. Harry's regal attire, complete with a crown and scepter, contrasts sharply with Lily's playful and agile gymnastics outfit. The sailor-inspired hat on Harry's head and the sailor suit of one of the onlookers in the background further emphasize the nautical theme of their act. The Novelty Comedy Gymnasts were known for their unique blend of humor and acrobatics, often incorporating unexpected elements into their routines to keep audiences engaged and entertained. In this photograph, Harry's angry and snooty demeanor as King George V clashes comically with Lily's graceful and agile movements, showcasing the duo's impressive acting skills and acrobatic abilities. Their act, which took place in the vibrant and diverse community of Brixton, London, brought joy and laughter to audiences, making them a beloved and entertaining presence in the world of early 20th-century entertainment. This photograph is a testament to their enduring legacy and the power of humor and fun to bring people together.
