EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant heart of Soho, London, as captured in this evocative nighttime photograph taken on Old Compton Street in 1973 by Robert Stallard. The scene unfolds before us as a lively tableau of the district's rich cultural heritage, showcasing the area's eclectic mix of entertainment and nightlife. Old Compton Street, a bustling thoroughfare in the heart of Soho, is illuminated by the warm glow of neon signs. The iconic Cinerama marquee, with its bold, colorful letters, beckons moviegoers to the cinema, while the London Casino sign, now replaced by the Prince Edward Theatre, casts an alluring, mysterious light on the pavement below. The dark, front entrance of the Prince Edward Theatre, which opened in 1930, stands proudly amidst the shady, intriguing atmosphere of Soho. The Great Waltz, a popular musical, was playing at the theatre during this time, adding to the area's lively and theatrical energy. This photograph, taken in the 1970s, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique character and charm of Soho during an era of change and transformation. The scene is a testament to the enduring spirit of this iconic London district, with its eclectic mix of history, culture, and the arts.
