EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating theatrical production by James Montgomery, graced the stage of the Little Theatre in Bournemouth during February 1922. Originally premiered at the Empire Theatre in England on the 7th of April 1920, this popular pantomime had been touring various theatres, bringing joy and entertainment to countless audiences. The photograph captures a moment from the production, featuring a radiant line of young girls, their faces aglow with excitement and anticipation. Dressed in their best, they stand in a neat row, poised and ready to deliver a stunning chorus number. The vibrant costumes, adorned with sequins and tassels, shimmer in the stage lights, adding to the overall enchantment of the performance. The 1920s, a decade marked by flapper fashion and jazz music, came alive on the stage of "Irene." This pantomime, with its catchy tunes penned by Harry Tierney, transported the audience to a world of fantasy and wonder. The energy and enthusiasm of the cast, particularly the young chorus girls, were infectious, leaving the audience in awe of their talent and dedication. "Irene" was more than just a play; it was an experience. It offered a much-needed escape from the daily grind, providing an opportunity for people to come together and celebrate the art of live theatre. The photograph serves as a testament to the enduring power of the stage, capturing a moment in time when the magic of the theatre touched the lives of many.
