EDITORS COMMENTS
A Quiet Decko: Tubby Edlin and Ambrose Thorne, Two Actors in First World War Costumes, Find Solace in the Humor of 'The Bystander' Between Shows This theatrical portrait captures the moment of respite for Tubby Edlin (left) and Ambrose Thorne, two intrepid actors portraying warriors in Alf's Button at the Princes Theatre during the tumultuous year of 1925. Amidst the chaos and strife of the war front, these thespians momentarily forget the horrors of the battlefield as they immerse themselves in the pages of a wartime issue of The Bystander. The correct atmosphere of their play is further underscored by their engagement with this periodical, which offers a brief reprieve from the harsh realities of the war. Tubby Edlin and Ambrose Thorne, both clad in authentic First World War costumes, display a camaraderie that extends beyond the stage. Their relaxed posture and shared laughter speak to the power of humor to heal and unite, even in the most trying of times. The 1920s, a decade marked by the aftermath of the Great War and the emergence of a new era, saw the continued popularity of comedy as a means of coping with the challenges of the time. This evocative image, taken in 1925, offers a glimpse into the lives of these two actors and the unique ways in which they found solace amidst the chaos of war. The worn pages of The Bystander, filled with news, humor, and distraction, serve as a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit.
