EDITORS COMMENTS
at the Lyric Theatre: Eleven Soldiers in Uniform Bringing Laughter and Tomfoolery to the Stage in 1895 This theatrical portrait captures the lively and entertaining atmosphere of the Lyric Theatre during a performance of "His Excellency" in 1895. The eleven soldiers in the photograph, dressed in their military uniforms, are seen in a jovial mood as they prepare to entertain the audience with their dance and song. The caption beneath the image invites the viewer to appreciate the amusing antics of the soldiers on stage, but also to consider the daily dedication required to bring such tomfoolery to life. The soldiers' uniforms and the ornate backdrop of the theatre add to the sense of grandeur and spectacle, while the playful expressions on their faces suggest a camaraderie and enjoyment of their role. The image offers a glimpse into the world of theatre in the late 19th century, a time when live performances were a popular form of entertainment and actors and soldiers alike could bring joy and laughter to audiences. The title "His Excellency" is not mentioned in the caption, but it is likely that the soldiers were portraying a military unit under the command of a high-ranking officer, adding to the humor and irony of their performance. The image is a reminder of the power of theatre to transport us to another world, even for just a few hours, and to bring people together in shared laughter and appreciation. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a moment in time, capturing the spirit of the 1890s and the enduring appeal of live theatre. It is a testament to the creativity and talent of the performers and the importance of the arts in the lives of people over a century ago.
