EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and experience the enchanting world of Joy-land! at The Hippodrome, London, as depicted in this promotional postcard from 1917. The image transports us back in time to the wartime era, where the thrill of live entertainment reigned supreme. The star of this dazzling revue was the radiant Shirley Kellogg, whose magnetic stage presence captivated audiences night after night. Produced by her husband, the visionary Albert de Courville, Joy-land! was a theatrical sensation that left Londoners spellbound. The postcard's design is a visual feast for the eyes, with its intricate Art Deco border, growing pound signs, and a crescent moon adorned with stars. The backdrop of the Hippodrome's iconic facade adds to the allure, as if inviting us to step inside and join the festivities. Joy-land! was a much-needed escape from the harsh realities of World War I, providing a momentary respite for Londoners seeking a night of laughter, music, and dance. The postcard serves as a testament to the power of live entertainment to bring joy and wonder to even the darkest of times. This beautiful postcard is part of The Michael Diamond Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library and offers a glimpse into the rich history of London's vibrant theatre scene during the 1910s. A true treasure for collectors, historians, and anyone with a love for the magic of the stage.
