Click! Went the Kodak
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful musical comedy number from the turn-of-the-century production, "The Medal and the Maid," composed by Sidney Jones with lyrics by Charles H. Taylor. In this scene, the enchanting Elsie Habibia, portrayed by Miss Daisy Jerome, captivates the audience with her youthful charm and playful energy. Dressed in a stunning white pleated skirt and a yellow blouse, she holds a Kodak camera aloft, her eyes sparkling with excitement. The Edwardian era setting of London in the 1900s is beautifully captured in this photograph, with the elegant costumes and the intricate details of the stage set adding to the overall charm of the scene. The young woman's expression of pure joy as she snaps a photograph is a testament to the magic of the new technology of photography, which was all the rage during that time. Keith Prowse, a renowned theatrical photographer of the era, captured this moment of musical comedy brilliance, immortalizing it for future generations to enjoy. The Medal and the Maid was a popular musical comedy production, and "Click! Went the Kodak" was one of its most beloved numbers. The combination of the catchy tune, the charming performer, and the novelty of photography made for an unforgettable theatrical experience. This photograph is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of musical comedy during the Edwardian era. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures and the power of live entertainment to bring joy and delight to audiences, even as technology continues to evolve and change the way we experience the arts.
