EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print captured by Henry How, we see a group of under 12-year-old children who were fortunate enough to be invited to the Adelphi theatre to witness the enchanting performance of "Sooty". This special invitation was extended by none other than Jack Hylton and organized by Noel Whitcomb. It was a momentous occasion that took place on the 21st of December in 1956, during the festive Christmas season. Among these lucky youngsters is nine-year-old Christine Clarke from Bromley. Inquisitive and filled with excitement, she can be seen trying out a pair of theatre binoculars. With wide eyes and an infectious smile, Christine eagerly explores her surroundings, immersing herself in the magical world unfolding before her. This photograph not only captures the joy and wonderment experienced by these young spectators but also serves as a nostalgic reminder of customs and traditions associated with Christmas festivities during the 1950s. The presence of puppets on stage adds an element of entertainment that captivates both boys and girls alike. Henry How's skillful lens has beautifully frozen this precious moment in time, allowing us to relive it decades later. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power that live performances hold over our imagination and how they shape our fondest childhood memories.
