A Night to Remember: Nellie Wallace's Engagement Party at Warwick Square, London, 1931 This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as a large and lively group of guests gather on the grand staircase of Warwick Square for the engagement party of comedienne, Nellie Wallace, and Mr. J. Selwyn Smithurst. The party, which lasted from 11pm to 5am, was a star-studded event that drew many of the most famous names from the London stage. In the front row, we see the dapper figure of Mr. Horace Sheldon, followed by the happy couple, Nellie Wallace and Selwyn Smithurst. To their left, we find a number of familiar faces, including Mrs. Marcus, Mr. Frank Lawton, Miss Renee Houston, Miss Evelyn Laye, Mr. Billy Marshall, Mr. Lea Leveson, Miss Nora Delaney, and Mr. Lackay. The women are elegantly dressed in the fashion of the 1930s, with long, flowing gowns and intricate headpieces, while the men don sharp suits and top hats. The atmosphere is one of joy and celebration, as the guests raise their glasses in a toast to the happy couple. The partygoers seem lost in the moment, their laughter and conversation filling the air as they bask in the warm glow of the fairy lights that adorn the staircase. This photograph is a testament to the glamour and excitement of the London social scene in the 1930s, a time when parties were a grand affair and the city's elite came out to celebrate in style. It is a reminder of a bygone era, one that continues to captivate us with its elegance and charm.
