EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and lively photograph taken in 1947, the Casino Theatre on Old Compton Street in the heart of London's Soho district is showcasing "London's finest and most reasonably priced entertainment." Originally known as the Prince Edward Theatre when it opened in 1930, the building underwent a transformation in 1935, becoming the Casino Theatre. The theatre's marquee proudly announces the international variety show that is about to begin, promising an evening of excitement and enjoyment for its patrons. The bustling scene outside the theatre is a testament to the draw of the entertainment industry in the 1940s. A red double-decker bus and several cars line the street, their headlights illuminating the theatre's facade. The sidewalk is filled with people, some clustered around a fruit stall, while others are milling about, chatting and laughing. A man in a motorcycle helmet and leather jacket stands near a parked motorcycle, adding to the sense of energy and movement in the scene. The Casino Theatre's neon sign, with its bold letters and colorful lights, draws the eye and beckons passersby to come inside and join in the fun. The theatre's conversion to a casino in the 1930s was a response to changing times and the growing popularity of gambling, but it was ultimately reverted back to a theatre in 1978. This photograph captures a moment in time when the Casino Theatre was a hub of activity and excitement, offering a diverse range of entertainment options to Londoners and visitors alike.
