EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in the world of early 20th century theatre. The image features Lewis Waller, a renowned matinee idol of his time, in the play "Gamblers All" at the Theatre Royal in Manchester. Waller, born in 1860, was a popular and talented actor who graced the stages of London's Wyndhams Theatre before bringing his performance to the provinces. The Theatre Royal in Manchester was an esteemed venue for live entertainment during the 1910s, and Waller's presence in "Gamblers All" was a major draw for audiences. In this production, Waller is seen sharing the stage with the equally talented Madge Titheradge. The billboard advertisement for the show, which can be seen in the background of the photograph, highlights the allure and excitement that theatre-goers experienced when attending a live performance. The photograph itself is a testament to the advertising techniques of the time. The use of bold typography and dramatic imagery on the billboard would have attracted the attention of passersby, enticing them to purchase tickets and immerse themselves in the world of "Gamblers All." This photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of theatre advertising during the early 1900s and the enduring appeal of live entertainment.
