EDITORS COMMENTS
February 20, 1942: A Night of Escape and Entertainment at the London Hippodrome's "Lets Face It" Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War II, the London Hippodrome continued to provide a much-needed respite for the city's weary inhabitants with its latest production, "Lets Face It." Starring Bobby Howes and Pat Kirkwood, this musical extravaganza brought joy and laughter to the hearts of Londoners, offering a brief reprieve from the harsh realities of wartime life. Joining Howes and Kirkwood on stage were a talented cast of performers, including Noele Gordon, who would later gain fame as Bessie Tate in the long-running television series "Crossroads." Also gracing the stage were Joyce Barbour and Babette O'Deal, adding their own unique flair to the production. The show was not without its specialty acts, with Halama and Konarski's breathtaking dance routines leaving audiences in awe. Their agility and grace provided a captivating contrast to the harsh realities of the war, offering a moment of escapism that was deeply cherished by all in attendance. Despite the challenges of producing a show during wartime, "Lets Face It" was a testament to the resilience and determination of the London theatre community. With its upbeat music, dazzling costumes, and talented cast, the production served as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the power of art and entertainment could bring people together and lift their spirits. This spread from The Sketch offers a glimpse into the magic of that night at the London Hippodrome, a moment in time that continues to resonate with us today as a symbol of hope and perseverance during wartime.
