EDITORS COMMENTS
This promotional flyer announces the premiere of The Passing Show revue by Arthur Wimperis, first produced at the prestigious Palace Theatre on 20th April 1914. The flyer, dated 1914, showcases an enticing image of the revue's title and the prominent tagline, "A Popular Theatrical Entertainment," above a lively illustration of performers on stage. Arthur Wimperis was a renowned British playwright, librettist, and revue writer, known for his innovative and entertaining works. The Passing Show was one of his most successful creations, featuring a series of sketches, songs, and dance numbers, all set to music by Herman Finck. The revue genre was a popular form of entertainment during the early 20th century, combining elements of music hall, vaudeville, and pantomime. The Passing Show offered a mix of comedy, satire, and spectacle, appealing to a wide audience and setting new standards for theatrical productions. The Palace Theatre, located in London's West End, was the perfect venue for this groundbreaking revue. With its grand architecture and reputation for hosting the best theatrical productions, the Palace Theatre provided the ideal setting for The Passing Show to make its mark on the London stage. This flyer, with its bold design and intriguing imagery, would have been distributed to potential audiences, enticing them to attend the revue and experience the excitement and innovation of live entertainment. The Passing Show went on to enjoy a successful run at the Palace Theatre and beyond, cementing its place in the annals of theatrical history.
