EDITORS COMMENTS
When The Angelus Is Ringing," a poignant play by Henrietta Schrier and C. Lodge-Percy, first graced the stage at the Theatre Royal in Stratford on the 1st of November 1915. This production, which later toured to the Victoria Theatre in Walthamstow on the 15th of November, tells the heart-wrenching story of Jack and Gladys, the hero and heroine, who are deeply distressed by the obstacles preventing their marriage. Set against the backdrop of the early 1910s, a time of great turmoil and change, the play resonated deeply with audiences during the First World War. The image captured here showcases the raw emotion and intensity of the moment, as Jack and Gladys' dreams of a future together seem to slip away. The theatrical world of the 1910s was a popular form of entertainment, providing a much-needed escape from the harsh realities of the war. Pantomimes and plays like "When The Angelus Is Ringing" offered a chance to connect with the community and engage in a shared experience. Henrietta Schrier and C. Lodge-Percy's collaboration resulted in a powerful and timeless piece of theatre that continues to captivate audiences to this day. This postcard, a relic from the past, serves as a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling and the human spirit, even in the most challenging of times. Join Jack and Gladys on their emotional journey as they navigate the challenges that threaten to keep them apart. Experience the magic of live theatre and be moved by the beauty and depth of "When The Angelus Is Ringing." Date: 1915. Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online. (Not for commercial use.)
