EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on this enchanting promotional postcard for the 1926 production of 'Princess Charming,' first performed at the Alhambra Theatre in Glasgow and later at the Palace Theatre. Adapted by Arthur Wimperis and Lauri Wylie from the Hungarian of Ferencz Martos, with music by Albert Szimal, this theatrical masterpiece was a popular favorite during the 1920s. The image on this postcard, brought to life by the artistic talents of Fred Spurgin, captures the magical moment as Princess Charming makes her entrance, surrounded by a line of faithful sentries, their stern expressions softening as they gaze upon her beauty. The sentries, with their tall, gleaming helmets and ornate uniforms, stand guard in the grand palace setting, adding to the sense of wonder and excitement that filled theatres during the performance of this beloved pantomime. 'Princess Charming' was a staple of the pantomime scene in the 1920s, offering a delightful mix of music, dance, comedy, and spectacle. This postcard serves as a captivating reminder of the enchantment and entertainment that filled theatres during this era, inviting us to imagine the magic that unfolded on stage for audiences of the past.
