EDITORS COMMENTS
The Stage comes alive in this caricature print from The Bystander magazine, showcasing the leading characters of Walter Greenwood's "Love on the Dole" during its acclaimed run at the Garrick Theatre in 1935. The play, an adaptation of Greenwood's gritty social realist novel, was a critical and commercial success, drawing large crowds to the West End theatre. At the heart of the production were a talented ensemble of actors and actresses, including Cathleen Nesbitt as Mrs. Warburton, Wendy Hiller as Hurstwood, Larry Hilton as Harry, and Julian Mitchell as Oliver Mellor. Their portrayals of the working-class characters in Salford, England, resonated deeply with audiences, offering a poignant and raw portrayal of poverty and love in the Depression era. The caricatures by Rouson add an extra layer of charm and humor to this historical snapshot. Drusilla Ault's portrayal of Bessie, the protagonist, is captured with a mix of vulnerability and determination. Wills, as Dai, is shown with a mischievous grin, while Beatrice Varley's portrayal of Hilda is depicted with a wistful expression. This print offers a unique glimpse into the world of London's West End theatre during the 1930s, showcasing the talent and artistry of both the play and its cast. The caricatures by Rouson add a playful touch to the serious subject matter, making for an engaging and memorable piece of theatre history.
