Doing the Lambeth Walk,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating photograph print from the year 1938, showcases an enchanting moment in the history of British entertainment. The image, taken from the Entertainments à la carte collection by Alan Bott, features an assemblage of talented performers who brought the infectious dance craze to life. At the forefront of the image are Lupino Lane, Teddie St Denis, George Graves, Doris Rogers, Martin Gray, Wallace Lupino, and Betty Frankiss, all radiantly dressed and poised to perform the iconic Lambeth Walk dance. The cartoon by Tom Titt in the background adds a playful touch to the scene, further emphasizing the infectious nature of the dance. The Lambeth Walk dance had taken the nation by storm since the opening of the show "Me and My Girl" at the Victoria Palace in 1937. The caption beneath the photograph reads, "The Lambeth Walk has been a craze, an epidemic lunacy, all through a spring and a summer, and the end is not yet." This testament to the dance's popularity underscores the cultural significance of this moment in time. The photograph offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of British entertainment during the late 1930s, a time when the arts served as a source of joy, unity, and escape from the challenges of everyday life. The image is a cherished reminder of the power of dance and its ability to bring people together, creating memories that last a lifetime.
