EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard showcases the charismatic music hall star, G H Elliott, in his prime as he sings the popular English song "Frys Chocolate Major." The image, taken during the late 19th or early 20th century, captures Elliott's engaging stage presence and undeniable charm. The lyrics to "Frys Chocolate Major," penned by A J Mills, and the music composed by Bennett Scott, tell a playful tale of a man's infatuation with a woman who resembles a Fry's Chocolate Cream bar. Dressed in a smart, blacked-out uniform, Elliott exudes confidence and showmanship. He holds a riding crop, adding an air of excitement and energy to the scene. The sepia tone of the photograph adds a sense of nostalgia and authenticity, transporting us back to the golden age of English theatre and entertainment. As a singer, Elliott was known for his performances and ability to connect with audiences. The image on this postcard is a testament to his enduring popularity and the lasting impact he had on music hall culture in the UK. The song "Frys Chocolate Major" remains a beloved piece of musical history, and this postcard is a fascinating glimpse into the world of music hall entertainment during a bygone era.
