EDITORS COMMENTS
This WW1 fundraiser programme for the production of 'Les Saisons d'Amour' at the Savoy Theatre in London, dated November 6, 1914, offers a glimpse into the past as we commemorate the centenary of this significant historical moment. The Savoy Theatre, located on the Strand, was a popular venue for grand theatrical productions during the early 1900s. The programme cover features an exquisite illustration by renowned artist John Hassall, who was known for his distinctive and intricate designs. The image portrays a romantic scene of a couple amidst a lush garden, oblivious to the looming war clouds on the horizon. This poignant juxtaposition of peace and impending conflict reflects the hopes and fears of the time. The fundraiser was organized to support the war efforts, with proceeds going towards the War Charities Committee. The programme includes a list of the principal performers, such as Dame Nellie Melba and Harry Lauder, who graced the Savoy Theatre stage during this period. The event also featured a variety of musical numbers, including selections from popular operas and contemporary songs. As we reflect on the sacrifices made during WW1, this programme serves as a poignant reminder of the power of art and entertainment to bring people together and raise funds for a worthy cause. The intricate design and historical significance of this programme make it an invaluable piece of WW1 memorabilia.
