EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful photograph captures the essence of musical comedy, as portrayed in the production of "The Medal and the Maid" by Sidney Jones and Charles H. Taylor. The scene features the character Simon Pentweazle, played by J. Robert Hale, striking a pose with a hat and coat in hand. The song "She ought to have a prize for that" was a popular number from the show, which opened in London during the 1900s. Keith Prowse & Co. Ltd., a renowned theatrical agency and concert promotion company, played a significant role in bringing this musical comedy to life. With branches spread across the city, their addresses included 128-130 The Strand, 33 Old Broad Street, and 145-147 Regent Street. Their extensive network allowed them to oversee various aspects of the production, from the box office and ticket sales to the music publishing and piano manufacturing. The company's involvement in the entertainment industry extended to theatrical agencies, concert promotion, and music publishing. Their offices were a hub of activity, with branches dedicated to different departments such as music, piano makers, and publishers. This photograph serves as a reminder of the vibrant and exciting world of musical comedy during the Edwardian era, where companies like Keith Prowse & Co. Ltd. played a pivotal role in bringing joy and entertainment to audiences.
