EDITORS COMMENTS
The Couple Who Caught the Last Train: A Tale of 1920s Theatrical Etiquette In this evocative black-and-white photograph, we witness a moment of both anticipation and annoyance unfolding at a bustling theatre entrance in the 1920s. The year is 1926, and the era of glamour and elegance is in full swing. The couple, dressed to impress, are seen hurrying towards the theatre, their faces reflecting a mix of excitement and urgency. Their late arrival, however, is causing quite a stir amongst the already seated audience. The disapproving gazes of the patrons are palpable, their annoyance evident as they shift in their seats, muttering disapprovingly. The man, wearing a dapper suit and hat, attempts to usher his companion, a stunningly dressed woman, towards their seats as quickly as possible. Despite the inconvenience caused, the couple's determination to make it to the show is evident. The theatre, with its grandiose architecture and ornate decor, looms in the background, a symbol of the opulence and grandeur of the era. This scene, a common occurrence during the 1920s, serves as a reminder of the importance of punctuality and the unspoken rules of theatre etiquette. This photograph, captured in 1926, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of elegance, style, and the magic of live entertainment. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring allure of the theatre and the timeless tradition of making it to the show on time.
