Out of the Bottle
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Delightful Snapshot of Musical Comedy at the Hippodrome in 1932 This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of musical comedy, as depicted in the production "Out of the Bottle" at London's iconic Hippodrome Theatre in 1932. The image features two charming actors, Clifford Mollison and Arthur Riscoe, taking a break between scenes, each with a hot water bottle in hand. Clifford Mollison (1897-1986), a versatile and beloved performer, can be seen on the left, his expression playful as he takes a hearty swig from his bottle. Arthur Riscoe (1896-1954), a veteran of the British stage, poses on the right, his character's mischievous grin evident as he follows suit. The scene unfolds on a simple yet elegant set, with the stage lights casting an ethereal glow on the actors and their surroundings. The theatrical atmosphere is further emphasized by the presence of a genie's lamp and a pair of ornate beds, hinting at the magical and whimsical nature of the production. "Out of the Bottle" was one of many musical comedies that graced the Hippodrome stage during the 1930s, a period of great innovation and creativity in British theatre. These productions, with their blend of music, comedy, and spectacle, provided a much-needed escape for audiences during economically challenging times. As the actors prepare to reenter the world of their magical characters, the hot water bottles offer a moment of comfort and respite. This photograph serves as a delightful reminder of the enchanting world of musical comedy that once captivated audiences at the Hippodrome and beyond.
