EDITORS COMMENTS
The Bing Boys are Here: A Captivating Snapshot of Comedy and Entertainment during the Great War This evocative photograph captures the spirit of merriment and camaraderie that defined the popular revue, The Bing Boys are Here, during the tumultuous year of 1916. The image showcases an enchanting scene from the show, featuring an all-star cast that included Alfred Lester, George Robey, Lillian Davies, and Blanche Stocker. Amidst the backdrop of the First World War, The Bing Boys are Here served as a much-needed respite for the weary public, providing a welcome distraction from the harsh realities of the home front and the battlefields of the Western Front. The revue, which premiered in 1916, quickly became one of the most popular shows of the Great War period, drawing large audiences with its mix of comedy, music, and dance. In this photograph, the charismatic performers – Alfred Lester, George Robey, Lillian Davies, and Blanche Stocker – are seen in high spirits, their faces alight with the joy and energy that they brought to the stage night after night. The image is a testament to the enduring power of the arts to uplift and inspire, even in the darkest of times. The Bing Boys are Here was more than just a simple diversion; it was a symbol of hope and unity, reminding audiences that despite the challenges of war, the show must go on. This photograph stands as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when the magic of live theatre brought people together in a shared experience of laughter, joy, and camaraderie.
