EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this image from the enchanting world of early 20th century theatre! This stunning promotional postcard invites us to experience the magic of "The Silver King," a popular play by Henry Arthur Jones and Henry Herman, first produced at the Princess's Theatre in London on November 16, 1882. The Silver King tells the story of a hero who has returned from the silver mines of Colorado, where he has made his fortune and become a king. His triumphant return is celebrated in this evocative image, which showcases the grandeur and glamour of the theatre world during the 1910s. This postcard, published by Polini and Melfords Co, was part of the company's touring production of "The Silver King," which came to the Theatre Royal in Hanley on March 17, 1913. The image, with its rich colors and intricate details, would have enticed audiences to attend the performance and be transported to a world of adventure, romance, and intrigue. The play, which was originally produced over three decades earlier, had clearly stood the test of time and continued to captivate audiences well into the 1910s. The combination of Jones and Herman's compelling storytelling and the allure of the theatre experience made "The Silver King" a must-see production for those seeking an evening of popular entertainment. So, join us in stepping back in time and experiencing the wonder of "The Silver King," as brought to life by the talented cast and crew of Polini and Melfords Co. This postcard is not only a beautiful piece of theatre history but also a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling and the magic of the stage.
