Cage Cages Jerry Panto Pantomime Promotional Windermere Theatrical
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and prepare to be entertained by the inimitable Jerry, brought to life in this promotional postcard for the popular pantomime, "Jerry" by Charles Windermere. First performed at the Lyceum Theatre in Ipswich on the 13th of December 1915, and later gracing the stage of the Duke of York's Theatre in 1916, this theatrical production was a sensation during the First World War era. The image showcases Jerry, portrayed by William Ashley, in a charming scene where he is surrounded by an array of birds in cages. Jerry, a character known for his quick wit and charisma, was a beloved figure in the world of pantomime and popular entertainment. His ability to captivate audiences with his antics and humor made him a must-see attraction during a time when theatres provided a much-needed escape from the harsh realities of the war. Charles Windermere's production of "Jerry" was a testament to the power of theatre to bring joy and laughter to people's lives, even in the midst of adversity. This postcard serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of Jerry and the magic of the theatre during the early 20th century. Circa 1916. #Jerry #CharlesWindermere #WW1 #Theatre #Pantomime #Panto #PromotionalPostcard #1916 #WW1Theatre #GreatWar #Entertainment #StagePlay #WilliamAshley #Birds #Cages #MaryEvansPrintsOnline
