EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating theatrical production by Seymour Hicks and Cosmo Hamilton, first staged in 1904. This vintage flyer, published by Mr. George Dances Co. and arranged with Charles Frohman, showcases a comical moment from the popular vaudeville play. Seymour Hicks, who wrote the part of the Duke of St. Jermyns for himself, is depicted on the left, standing sheepishly with his back to a long row of eager women, all dressed for dancing and looking hopefully in his direction. He holds his hat in his hands and nervously glances over his shoulder. The caption below reads, "Duke, We Are All Unmarried." This scene encapsulates the light-hearted and comical nature of "The Catch of the Season," a musical comedy that became a sensation in the early 1900s. The play, which also featured music by Herbert Haines and Evelyn Baker, showcased the duo's talent for combining humor, music, and dance in a theatrical experience that resonated with audiences. The flyer's design is reminiscent of the era, with its ornate typography and illustrative elements. The image of Hicks, with a fan-wielding lady in the foreground and a bouquet of bouquets in the background, adds to the playful and romantic atmosphere of the production. "The Catch of the Season" was a hit in its time, and its enduring popularity is a testament to the timeless appeal of comedy, music, and the art of live entertainment. This flyer is a valuable piece of theater history, offering a glimpse into the world of vaudeville and the productions that captured the imagination of audiences over a century ago.
