EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and experience the uproarious antics of 'The Money Makers' by George Rollitt, a sporting farce that first graced the stage at the prestigious Royalty Theatre on May 13, 1904. This popular theatrical production tells the tale of two young women who embark on an audacious scheme to make a fortune by tipping horses at the races. The stage comes alive with the excitement of the turf as the furious punters, blinded by their passion for betting, mistakenly blame the deacon when their chosen steed is scratched. This image is from the Hutchison Co. touring production of 'The Money Makers,' which made its way to the New Theatre in Cambridge on November 17, 1904. The farcical scene showcases the mischievous energy and pantomimic flair that made 'The Money Makers' a must-see theatrical event of its time. George Rollitt's masterful storytelling and the larger-than-life performances of its cast brought joy and laughter to audiences, making it a beloved classic of the early 20th-century stage.
