EDITORS COMMENTS
A Raucous Evening at the Music Hall: Cricket Illustrated - Run Out! This intriguing photograph, taken circa 1903, captures a lively scene at a Music Hall as a rather intoxicated gentleman is escorted from the premises by the doorman and his helpful junior understudy. The merrymaking of the evening seems to have gotten the best of our friend Percy, dressed in a red top hat and a smart evening dress, who appears to be in a state of advanced inebriation. The doorman, a stern and imposing figure in his uniform, maintains a firm grip on Percy's arm, ensuring a steady exit for the inebriated Cricket fan. In tow, the doorman's young apprentice, Vernon, carefully carries Percy's overcoat, its wobbly folds a testament to the chaos of the moment. The bellboy, Bradshaw, looks on with a mixture of amusement and concern, perhaps recalling similar escapades of his own. The image, published in Cricket Illustrated, offers a glimpse into the colorful history of Music Halls and the unpredictable nature of the entertainment they provided. The scene is a reminder that even the most refined of evenings could be disrupted by the unpredictable nature of human behavior, and that the excitement of Cricket matches could extend far beyond the boundaries of the pitch.
