"Edwardes: A Legacy of Musical Extravaganza and Theatrical Brilliance" Step into the enchanting world of Edwardes, where musicals came alive with grandeur and charm. From the captivating scenes of Madame Pompadour at Dalys Theatre in London (1923) to the mesmerizing Primrose at Winter Garden Theatre (1924), George Edwardes Productions transported audiences to a realm of pure delight. Evelyn Laye, a star shining bright, graced the stage in these unforgettable musical plays. Her talent illuminated every performance, leaving spectators spellbound by her remarkable presence. But Edwardes' influence extended beyond his productions alone. Adrienne Adele Augarde, an English actress whose brilliance knew no bounds, left an indelible mark on the theatrical world during her tragically short life. Gipsy Love, brought to life by Basil Hood and Adrian Ross under Edwardes' guidance at Daly's Theatre, captured hearts with its passionate tale. It was here that Edmund Payne portrayed Max Moddelkopf alongside Happy Fanny Fields as Mitzi in The Girls of Gottenberg – a duo that stole hearts and made audiences fall head over heels for their performances. Even offstage, Dalys Girls found joy and relaxation at swimming baths – a testament to their camaraderie and love for their craft. Their laughter echoed through time as they reveled in moments away from the spotlight. The poster for Three Little Maids staged at Weiner's showcased not only the allure of this production but also highlighted Edwardes' commitment to promoting his shows with artistic flair. In 1908, aspiring female voices auditioned fervently for roles in musicals - hoping to be part of something extraordinary under Edwardes' direction. These auditions were filled with dreams waiting to be realized on stage. The posters advertising San Toy at Grand Theatre Halifax; Are You A Mason.
