EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the world of 1909 theatrical drama with this promotional postcard of Roy Horniman's production of "Idols." This image, taken from the Hutchison Company's tour to the Grand Theatre in Southampton, showcases a pivotal moment from Act III of the melodrama. In the courtroom, Irene Merriman (centre) bravely stands to testify on behalf of the accused, unbeknownst to all, including the judge (right), that he was actually with a different woman whom he had secretly married. The barristers (left) eagerly await Irene's words, as the tension in the courtroom reaches a fever pitch. This photograph offers a glimpse into the popular entertainment of the early 1900s, a time when melodramas and pantomimes held the stage captive with their dramatic twists and turns. Experience the thrill of the theatre as it comes alive through this stunning image from the past.
