EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Scene outside the Duke of York's Theatre, London: A Timeless Theatrical Experience The Duke of York's Theatre, located in the heart of London, stands proudly with its historic facade, a testament to the enduring allure of live theatre. Designed by architect Walter Emden and opened on September 10, 1892, the theatre began its life as the Trafalgar Square Theatre before being renamed in 1895 to honor the future King George V. In this evocative photograph from the 1920s, the theatre's frontage is bathed in soft light as theatregoers gather, their anticipation palpable. Among the crowd, the name of the star attraction, Miss Marie Tempest, is prominently displayed. Known for her captivating stage presence, Tempest was a popular figure in the theatrical world, and her performance in Ernest Denny's All of a Sudden Peggy was sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Denny, a prolific playwright, penned All of a Sudden Peggy in 1920, and the play's success is evident in the size of the crowd gathered outside the theatre. The theatregoers, dressed in their finest attire, eagerly await the start of the performance, their faces reflecting a sense of excitement and joy. The Duke of York's Theatre, with its beautiful architecture and rich history, continues to be a beloved destination for theatre enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into London's vibrant theatrical past. This photograph captures a moment in time, a moment when the magic of live theatre came alive for audiences, much as it does today.
