Mrs. Pomeroys Reputation,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a theatrical production by Horace Annesley Vachell and Thomas Cobb, premiered at the Kings Theatre in Hammersmith on the 9th of April and at the Queens Theatre on the 4th of July in 1917. This image of Violet Vanbrughs as Mrs. Pomeroys, taken by the skilled artist Wilton Williams, serves as a testament to her exceptional talent and popularity during the First World War era. The coloured poster, featuring Violet Vanbrughs in an elegant and alluring pose, is a fitting tribute to her status as a star. The first night audience at the Kings Theatre was enchanted by her performance, showering her with applause upon her entrance and overwhelming her with flowers at the end of each act. The play, "Mrs. Pomeroys Reputation," was a significant theatrical production during the Great War, providing popular entertainment for the public seeking a respite from the harsh realities of the conflict. The pantomime-style production, with its witty dialogue and captivating performances, was a welcome distraction for audiences during this challenging time. This promotional postcard, showcasing the beauty and charm of Violet Vanbrughs, is a reminder of the enduring power of the theatre to transport and delight audiences, even in the midst of adversity. The image of Mrs. Pomeroys, with her enigmatic expression and striking attire, continues to captivate and intrigue viewers over a century later, making it a cherished piece of theatre history.
