EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature brings to life the leading ladies of the Black Velvet revue, a wartime entertainment extravaganza produced by George Black at the iconic London Hippodrome in 1939. The four enchanting starlets gracing this image are Carol Lynne, Roma Beaumont, Pat Kirkwood, and Iris Lockwood. Carol Lynne, whose radiant smile shines through in this sketch, was married to Bernard Delfont, a renowned theatrical impresario. Roma Beaumont, the elegant blonde, was not only a captivating performer but also the wife of George Black's son, Alfred. She went on to star in several Ivor Novello musicals at the Hippodrome. Pat Kirkwood, the brunette beauty, stole the hearts of audiences with her sultry rendition of "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" in the show. Iris Lockwood, Britain's most famous model at the time, rounded out this talented quartet. She later married producer and impresario Robert Nesbitt. Amidst the backdrop of the Second World War, these women brought joy and entertainment to London's theatergoers with their performances in Black Velvet. This caricature serves as a testament to their enduring charm and the indomitable spirit of the era.
