He made his name in music hall and vaudeville before transitioning to film and stage.

Together, Hulbert and Courtneidge formed a dynamic duo, often performing in revues and musical comedies that showcased their comedic timing and vocal abilities. Their collaboration in "By the Way" was particularly successful, with the play running for over 500 performances in London and touring extensively in the UK and the US. This photograph is a testament to the couple's enduring chemistry and the joy they brought to audiences through their performances. It offers a glimpse into the rich history of British entertainment and the lasting impact of Jack Hulbert and Cicely Courtneidge on the stage.
