EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image transports us back to the early 1910s, showcasing a lively theatrical production titled "Chocolate Coloured Coons and The Palace of Chocolate." The centre of attention is the charismatic music hall star, G H Elliott, who is seen proudly holding a microphone and donning a dapper suit. Elliott was a renowned singer, best known for his rendition of the popular English song "Frys Chocolate Major," penned by A J Mills with music by Bennett Scott. Accompanying Elliott on stage is Alf Lawrence, another talented performer, who adds to the excitement of the scene with his animated expression and lively gestures. The background of the postcard reveals a grand, ornate palace, fittingly named "The Palace of Chocolate," which further emphasizes the sweet and indulgent theme of the production. The Chocolate Coloured Coons and The Palace of Chocolate was a unique and entertaining spectacle, combining music, theatre, and visual delight. This postcard serves as a fascinating glimpse into the vibrant world of early 20th-century English entertainment, where the joy of music, the thrill of live performance, and the allure of chocolate came together in a delightful and memorable experience. The Michael Diamond Collection, from Mary Evans Prints Online, has once again provided us with a captivating piece of history, allowing us to explore the rich tapestry of the past and appreciate the artistry and creativity that defined a bygone era.
