EDITORS COMMENTS
by Alfred Maltby and Frank Lindo: A Theatrical Triumph of 1899 This promotional print, featuring the title "My Soldier Boy" by Alfred Maltby and Frank Lindo, showcases the excitement and allure of a popular theatrical production from the late 19th century. The first performances of this play took place at the Grand Theatre in Fulham on the 11th of July, 1898, and later transferred to the Criterion Theatre on the 3rd of January, 1899. The image presents a dashing Hussar soldier, poised and proud, holding two swords aloft. The swords, gleaming in the stage lights, symbolize the strength, courage, and valor that were central themes in the pantomime, "My Soldier Boy." The theatrical setting is further emphasized by the ornate curtain and the grand proscenium arch in the background. The play, written by Alfred Maltby and Frank Lindo, was a significant success during its time. It showcased the talents of the actors and the technical prowess of the theatre, providing an unforgettable experience for audiences. The combination of music, dance, and drama in the pantomime format ensured that "My Soldier Boy" remained a popular choice for entertainment. The print serves as a testament to the rich history of theatrical productions during the late Victorian era. It invites us to imagine the thrill of attending a live performance, the anticipation of watching the story unfold on stage, and the joy of being transported to another world for an evening. This image is a reminder of the enduring power of the theatre to captivate, inspire, and entertain.
