The production then embarked on a tour, making its way to the Empire Theatre in Southampton on October 17th.

The ornate, gold-trimmed border adds a touch of elegance and intrigue, further enticing the audience to attend the performance. The Wandering Jew was a popular play during the 1920s, and this postcard serves as a testament to the theatrical prowess of Matheson Lang and the enduring appeal of E. Temple Thurston's story.
