EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of 'His Mothers Rosary' by Eva Elwes, a theatrical production that captured the hearts and imaginations of audiences in Manchester, London, and beyond in 1915 and 1916. This evocative postcard image invites us into the enchanting scene of a seaside pantomime, where the protagonist is transfixed by a vision of his mother, her white hair cascading in the clouds above. The stage is set with a backdrop of boats bobbing gently on the tranquil sea, as the audience gazes upon this heartwarming moment. First performed at the Metropole Theatre in Manchester on February 22, 1915, and later at the Elephant and Castle Theatre in London on July 29, 1915, 'His Mothers Rosary' was a popular and enduring theatrical success. The production then continued its tour to The Picture House in Lydney on December 10, 1916. Eva Elwes' play was a beloved staple of the pantomime scene, combining elements of popular entertainment, drama, and magic to create a memorable and captivating experience for audiences. This postcard is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of 'His Mothers Rosary' and the enchantment it brought to theatres across the country over a century ago.
