1. Florodora: A Timeless Musical Comedy Masterpiece from the Roaring 1910s Step back in time and experience the enchanting world of Florodora, a captivating musical comedy by Owen Hall with music by Leslie Stuart. First produced at the prestigious Lyric Theatre in London on November 11, 1909, this theatrical gem soon became a sensation, touring to the Theatre Royal in Eastbourne in circa 1916 under the direction of Sydney Ellison. The story revolves around the alluring Dolores, who captivates the hearts of many, including a millionaire landowner enamored with her but ultimately unsuccessful in his pursuit. Florodora is not just the name of the heroine, but also a popular perfume, marketed by the millionaire in his relentless attempts to win her affection. This photograph, taken during the Eastbourne production, showcases a delicate moment backstage. A wicker box, adorned with intricate wickerwork, sits closed on a side table, its contents carefully preserved. The red flowers nestled within the box add a touch of fragility and elegance, evoking the delicate nature of love and the care required to keep it alive. Florodora is a testament to the popularity of musical comedies during the early 1900s, blending music, comedy, and variety to create an unforgettable theatrical experience. This photograph is a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse of the timeless charm and enchantment that continues to captivate audiences today.
