EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting postcard, dating back to the early 1910s, captures the magic and excitement of the holiday season as it promotes the Aladdin pantomime at the National Theatre on Kingsway in London during World War I. The theatre, adorned with British and allied flags, proudly displays its patriotic spirit as the cast and crew prepare for another performance. The pantomime, a beloved British tradition, provided a much-needed escape from the harsh realities of the ongoing war. The production featured popular actors of the time, such as Claire Romaine, Billie Barlow, Burke, and others, who brought the classic tale of Aladdin to life on stage. The children in the audience, dressed in their festive best, would have been captivated by the colorful sets, lively music, and the dazzling ballet sequences. The Aladdin pantomime of 1914 was a testament to the resilience and determination of the British people during the First World War. The theatre served as a beacon of hope and joy, reminding everyone that even in the darkest of times, the power of entertainment could bring people together and lift their spirits. This postcard, from The Michael Diamond Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and reminds us of the importance of art and creativity in our lives, especially during challenging times.
