EDITORS COMMENTS
Cicely Courtneidge, the renowned actress, is captured in this timeless print as she joyfully celebrates the remarkable milestone of her 70th anniversary in the world of stage. The image takes us back to a significant moment in history - September 5th, 1901 - when an eight-year-old Cicely graced the Princes Theatre in Manchester with her enchanting presence as one of the fairies in Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. The occasion was nothing short of extraordinary, and it was fittingly commemorated by impresario Peter Saunders and his wife Ann at their Hampstead home. Surrounded by esteemed colleagues such as Robertson Hare, Dorothy Ward, Moira Lister, Robb Stewart, Hubert Greig, Jack Hulbert and Brian Rix; laughter filled the air as glasses clinked together for a toast. This snapshot from George Greenwell's lens transports us to an era where entertainment thrived on live performances rather than screens. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times and evolving mediums like television and cinema during the 1970s when this photo was taken; theatre remained an integral part of our cultural fabric. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded not only of Cicely Courtneidge's incredible talent but also of the power that art holds to bring people together across generations. Let us raise our own glasses now to celebrate her illustrious career that has left an indelible mark on
