EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, specifically to the Metropole Theatre in Camberwell, SE London. The Second in Command, a rollicking military comedy penned by Robert Marshall, graced the theatre's stage during this era. Previously, the production had enjoyed a successful run at the esteemed Haymarket Theatre in London. The photograph showcases a scene from the play, with two dapper gentlemen in full military uniforms standing in the foreground. The second-in-command, clad in a smartly pressed tunic, gazes intently at his superior officer, who is deep in thought. The expression on both their faces suggests a serious, yet lighthearted, exchange. The Metropole Theatre, with its ornate facade and grandiose marquee, looms majestically in the background. The Victorian and Edwardian eras, known for their love of theatre and the arts, are beautifully encapsulated in this image. The theatre's red velvet curtains, adorned with gold trim, are pulled back, revealing the stage where the comedy unfolds. Robert Marshall's The Second in Command was a popular choice for theatre-goers during this period, offering a much-needed respite from the daily grind. The play's military theme and comedic elements would have resonated with the audience, providing them with an entertaining and engaging theatrical experience. This postcard, part of The Michael Diamond Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th-century theatre and entertainment in the UK.
