Interference
EDITORS COMMENTS
was a thrilling and mysterious play by Roland Pertwee and Harold Dearden that first graced the stage at the St. James's Theatre on January 29, 1927. This production quickly became a sensation, and by May 1929, it was touring to the Kilburn Empire. The image above is a rare promotional postcard from that tour, featuring the lead actors Gerald Du Maurier, Herbert Waring, and Basil Loder. Du Maurier, a renowned actor of the 1920s, portrayed Sir John Marlay, a wealthy and influential man whose life is turned upside down by a series of inexplicable events. Waring took on the role of the determined Detective Inspector, tasked with solving the mystery that threatens to destroy Marlay's reputation. Basil Loder played Douglas Helder, a sinister character whose motives are shrouded in secrecy. The 1920s were a golden age for popular theatre, and "Interference" was no exception. With its thrilling twists and turns, the play was a must-see for audiences seeking a dramatic and suspenseful experience. The theatrical production was a true melodrama, filled with intrigue, mystery, and enough suspense to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. This postcard is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of 1920s theatre and the captivating plays that defined the era. The image, with its striking contrasts and dramatic lighting, perfectly encapsulates the mood and atmosphere of "Interference," making it a valuable addition to any theatre history collection.
