1. Title: "Davy Burnaby, Star of Stage and Screen, Caricatured by Garretto: A Humorous Portrayal of the Co-optimist Actor at the London Hippodrome in 1930" This print showcases a caricature of the renowned British actor and entertainer, Davy Burnaby, created by the talented artist Garretto for The Bystander magazine in 1930. Burnaby, born in 1881, was a versatile performer who graced both the stage and the silver screen with his presence. He is best remembered for his role as a founding member and leading performer of The Co-optimists, a revue troupe comprised of well-known stage actors who delighted audiences at various theatres. At the time this caricature was published, The Co-optimists were making waves at the prestigious London Hippodrome in May 1930. The image captures Burnaby's playful and charismatic demeanor, adding a touch of humor to the public's perception of the popular actor. The Co-optimists' revues were known for their wit, satire, and musical numbers, making Burnaby's portrayal in this caricature all the more fitting. Garretto, a skilled artist, expertly rendered Burnaby's features, capturing the essence of the actor's charm and stage presence. The caricature's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the image to life, offering a glimpse into the world of entertainment during the early 20th century. This print serves as a testament to Burnaby's enduring legacy as a beloved actor and performer, and a reminder of the rich history of British theatre and revue.
