Mr. Faint Heart
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Ian Hay: A Roaring '30s Comedy of Errors at Sea This delightful scene from the 1931 comedy play "Mr. Faint Heart" by Ian Hay comes to life in this caricature by Tom Titt. The image transports us back to the glamorous yet mischievous era of ocean liners sailing the high seas during the 1930s. At the heart of the scene is Basil Foster, portrayed as the stammering bank clerk, Jos Finch. His discomfort is palpable as he stands sandwiched between two intriguing women. On his left is the alluring Myra, played by Jane Baxter, who seems to be leading him on with her flirtatious glances. On his right is Marie Lohr, another passenger, who pretends to be his wife in an attempt to save him from Myra's advances. The backdrop of the ocean liner adds to the playful atmosphere of the scene. The ship, with its elegant decks and majestic sails, symbolizes the voyage of self-discovery and the unexpected twists and turns that life can bring. The passengers, dressed in fashionable 1930s attire, contribute to the lively and vibrant energy of the production. "Mr. Faint Heart" is a classic comedy of errors that showcases the wit and charm of the 1930s. This scene, captured in Tom Titt's caricature, perfectly encapsulates the essence of the play - a tale of mistaken identity, love, and laughter aboard a magnificent ocean liner.
