EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the roaring twenties with this enchanting promotional postcard for the farce, "Le Coup de Telephone" by Paul Gavault and Georges Beer, featuring the captivating image of "The Kiss Call" by Fred Thomson. This theatrical masterpiece, first produced at the Gaiety Theatre on the 8th of October 1919, brought laughter and delight to audiences despite the fact that very few people had telephones at the time. The title of the comedy, "Le Coup de Telephone," translates to "The Telephone Call," and though the connection to the production may not be immediately clear, the intrigue and excitement surrounding the mysterious telephone call are at the heart of this farce. In this charming photograph, Fred Thomson is depicted in the midst of a passionate kiss, his eyes closed and his focus entirely on the telephone receiver as he listens intently. The image perfectly encapsulates the essence of the play, which explores the themes of communication, miscommunication, and the power of the telephone to bring people closer together, even as it creates unexpected complications. The 1910s were a time of great change and innovation, and the introduction of the telephone was a significant milestone in the world of communication. This postcard serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the popular entertainment of the era and the enduring appeal of farce and pantomime on the stage.
