EDITORS COMMENTS
5064 Gerrard: A Glimpse into the Extravagant World of the 1915 Alhambra Theatre Revue This photograph, taken during the run of the 1915 Alhambra Theatre Revue in London, offers a glimpse into the world of popular entertainment during the First World War. The image features the star of the production, Gaby Deslys, dressed in an extravagant feather headdress and holding a telephone. The title of the revue, "5064 Gerrard," refers to the telephone number of the Alhambra Theatre located in Leicester Square. The Alhambra Theatre was known for its variety shows, which included music arranged by Willy Redestone, as well as a cartoonist, vocalist, comedy acrobats, and a bioscope with the latest war news. This theatrical production provided a much-needed escape from the harsh realities of the war for London audiences. Gaby Deslys was a popular French-born performer who rose to fame in the early 1900s. Her charisma and talent made her a favorite among audiences, and she was a frequent headliner in revues and musical productions. In this photograph, she exudes confidence and allure, making it a true representation of the glamour and excitement of the Alhambra Theatre during this era. The First World War had a profound impact on the world of theatre, with many productions adapting to the times and incorporating war-themed elements. The Alhambra Theatre Revue was no exception, providing a unique blend of entertainment and information for its audiences. This photograph serves as a reminder of the important role that theatre played in the lives of people during this time, offering a moment of escape and joy amidst the chaos of war.
