EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The Blue Train,' is a stunning representation of the theatrical production 'Madi' by Alfred Grunewald and Leo Stein, with music by Robert Stolz. First introduced to audiences at the Kings Theatre in Southsea on March 14, 1927, and later at the Prince of Wales Theatre on May 10, 1927, this production was a popular success. The image showcases the essence of Act II and III, with a daring skier mid-jump in the Swiss Alps, symbolizing the excitement and adventure of the mountainous terrain. Beneath him, the iconic blue train, reminiscent of the Riviera Express, is depicted with young women clambering over it. This visually represents the allure and glamour of the French Riviera, showcased in Act III. This theatrical masterpiece, featuring the Blue Train, was later toured to the Hippodrome in Lewisham on October 24, 1927. The photograph, taken in 1927, is a beautiful fusion of drama and reality, capturing the essence of the production and the excitement it generated among audiences. The Blue Train, a steam locomotive engine, was a symbol of luxury and elegance, making it the perfect backdrop for this theatrical production. Reginald Arkell and Dion Titheradge, the talented artists behind this photograph, expertly captured the essence of the production, from the thrill of skiing to the allure of the Riviera Express. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of 'Madi' and the magic it brought to the stage over 90 years ago.
