EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this delightful promotional postcard from the Summerdown Revusical Panto production of "Daisy Bell, in Flewso the Flier," performed at the Pier Theatre in Eastbourne during the merry season of 1917. This image transports us back to the enchanting era of the 1910s, when theatre and entertainment reigned supreme. The thin and elegant figure of Daisy Bell, the leading lady, graces the stage with her charming presence. She dons a beautiful summer dress, accessorized with a parasol and a dainty straw hat adorned with flowers. The boater hat resting on a chair nearby suggests that this scene takes place on the seaside, adding to the delightful summertime atmosphere. Despite the joyous setting, the backdrop of World War I casts a subtle shadow over the scene. The war is hinted at through the military-style uniform of the man holding the parasol, as well as the wartime spirit embodied in the comic and lighthearted nature of the pantomime. Flewso the Flier, a comic character, is likely to have played a significant role in this production. With his oversized shoes and exaggerated expression, he adds a touch of humour and whimsy to the scene. This postcard, from the Michael Diamond Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of English theatre during the early 20th century. It invites us to imagine the laughter and delight that filled the Pier Theatre as audiences enjoyed the comic antics of Daisy Bell and Flewso the Flier in this beloved pantomime production.
