EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant world of the 1920s as we take a peek behind the scenes of the hit production of "Desert Song" at London's Drury Lane Theatre in 1927. This set of sketches offers a glimpse into the making of this jazz age masterpiece, featuring some of the most talented actors of the era. At the heart of this enchanting production was the inimitable Clarice Hardwicke, who graced the stage as the alluring Lola Marjo. Surrounding her were the dashing Gene Gerrard as the hero, Harry Welchman as the villain, and the delightful Edith Day, Leonard Mackay, and Phebe Brune, who brought the colorful supporting characters to life. "Desert Song," an adaptation of the popular operetta by Robert Stolz and Oscar Straus, was a sensation during the Roaring Twenties. Its exotic setting, captivating music, and stunning art deco design transported audiences to a world of glamour and intrigue. The production's success was a testament to the innovative spirit of the time, which embraced new forms of entertainment and pushed the boundaries of artistic expression. As you peruse these evocative sketches, imagine the electric atmosphere of a night at the theatre during the 1920s. Feel the excitement in the air as the orchestra strikes up a tune, the anticipation as the curtain rises, and the magic as the story unfolds before your very eyes. This is a moment in time frozen in history, a snapshot of a bygone era that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
