This photograph print showcases the vibrant cast of the 1926 revue "Life" by Maurice Cowan and Fred Rome, produced first at the Hippodrome in Portsmouth on May 3rd and later at the prestigious London Palladium on August 30th. The roundels encircling the image highlight the leading performers of this popular theatrical production. Beginning on the top left, we find Clarice Mayne, whose radiant smile and captivating presence graced many a stage during the 1920s. Next to her is G.S. Melvin, a versatile performer known for his comedic timing and charm. Nora Bayes, a beloved vocalist and actress, is depicted in the third roundel, her expressive eyes and engaging personality drawing audiences in. Lilian Payne, a graceful and elegant dancer, is showcased in the fourth roundel, while Phyllis Bedells, a renowned ballerina and actress, closes the lineup in the final roundel. All five performers brought their unique talents to the London Palladium stage, contributing to the success of this groundbreaking revue. The 1920s were a golden age for popular entertainment, and "Life" was a testament to the creativity and innovation of the time. With its catchy music by Frederick Chappelle and the collective efforts of Cowan, Rome, and the exceptional cast, this revue left a lasting impact on the theatrical world. This photograph serves as a reminder of the magic that unfolded on the London Palladium stage nearly a century ago.
