EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1928, captures the essence of London's vibrant nightlife at the Cafe Anglais, a popular cabaret and entertainment spot located in the heart of the city. The scene is set around Rex Evans, a talented pianist and singer, who mesmerizes the crowd with his performance. M. Poulsen, the club's charismatic co-director, stands proudly to the left, overseeing the evening's festivities. Behind Rex's right elbow, his fellow co-directors, Captain Robin Humphries and Mrs. Humphries, engage in a lively conversation. In the foreground, Audrey Carten, Tallulah Bankhead, and Gwen Farrar, three prominent figures of society and the stage, are seen enjoying their meals with an unidentified gentleman. The right hand table is graced by the presence of Laddie Cliff and his wife, Phyllis Monkman. The atmosphere is electric, filled with the sounds of laughter, clinking glasses, and the melodic strains of Rex's piano. The Cafe Anglais was a beloved nightspot for London's elite, offering an unforgettable experience of music, dining, and camaraderie. This evocative caricature, created by Hynes, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the 1920s, a decade marked by glamour, creativity, and the allure of the night. The image invites us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in the enchanting world of London's cabaret scene.
