Tons of Money
EDITORS COMMENTS
was a popular comedy production by William Evans and Archibald Thomas Pechey, first staged at the Opera House in Southport on March 20, 1922, and later transferred to the Shaftesbury Theatre in London on April 13, 1922. This promotional postcard, featuring artwork by renowned illustrator John Hassall, offers a glimpse into the lighthearted world of this comedic duo's creation. The image showcases a lively scene of two policemen, their faces filled with amusement and surprise, as they stand before a cart overflowing with money. The policemen, dressed in their traditional uniforms, are seemingly taken aback by the unexpected discovery. The cart, with its exaggerated wheels and overflowing contents, adds to the comedic effect of the scene. William Evans and Archibald Thomas Pechey were known for their comedic plays that often revolved around the themes of policing and the mishaps that ensued. "Tons of Money" was no exception, and this postcard effectively captures the playful essence of their work. The use of bold colors and dynamic composition by John Hassall further emphasizes the comedic tone and draws the viewer in, making this postcard a delightful piece of theatre history. This postcard, produced in 1922, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the comedic collaborations between Evans and Pechey and serves as a reminder of the rich theatrical heritage that continues to inspire and entertain audiences today.
