EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of high society in 1920s London, as depicted in the comedy "The Best People" by David Gray and Avery Hopgood. The play, which premiered at the Grand Theatre in Blackpool in March 1926 and later transferred to the Lyric Theatre in London, was a witty commentary on the snobbery and pretentiousness of the upper classes. The image shows a well-dressed couple, with the woman delicately flipping through the pages of Debrett's, Burke's Peerage, and Who's Who 1926. These authoritative reference books were essential tools for the British elite, used to establish one's social standing and connections. The man, with a smug expression on his face, looks on approvingly, no doubt relishing in the couple's perceived superiority. The production of "The Best People" was overseen by Herbert Clayton and Jack Waller, who brought the satirical script to life on the stage. The play poked fun at the snobbish behavior of the upper classes, exposing their pretensions and revealing the absurdity of their social hierarchies. The comedy was a hit with audiences, who appreciated the sharp wit and insightful commentary on the society of the time. This photograph is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, transporting us back to the glamour and sophistication of 1920s London, where appearances mattered and social status reigned supreme.
