EDITORS COMMENTS
This promotional postcard from the 1960s showcases the dynamic duo of Oy Ra and Dorma Leigh in their roles as the leading characters in "The Girl on the Film," a musical farce in three acts by James T. Tanner. The image was taken during the production's run at the prestigious Gaiety Theatre in London. The photograph captures the essence of the theatrical performance, with Oy Ra, a man, suspended upside down, skillfully balancing on Dorma Leigh's outstretched hands. The woman, with a radiant smile, appears to be in mid-laughter, adding to the light-hearted and playful atmosphere of the scene. Their costumes, reminiscent of the 1960s era, further enhance the vintage charm of the image. "The Girl on the Film" was a production by George Edwardes, a renowned figure in British theatre, and marked an exciting collaboration between Tanner and Edwardes. The musical farce, which consisted of three acts, showcased the duo's exceptional acrobatics and comedic timing, leaving audiences in stitches. This postcard is a testament to the magic of live theatre and the unforgettable moments that unfold on the stage. The image of Oy Ra and Dorma Leigh, with their daring act and infectious energy, continues to captivate and entertain, even decades after the curtain closed on "The Girl on the Film.
