EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and prepare to be charmed by the enchanting world of Watch Your Step, a revue sensation that took the stage by storm during the turbulent times of the First World War. This promotional postcard, featuring the artwork of Harry Grattan, invites you to join the throng of young admirers gathered around the clock face of this mesmerizing production. First produced at the prestigious Empire Theatre in May 1915, Watch Your Step dazzled audiences with its lively music by the legendary Irving Berlin. As the revue made its way to the Theatre Royal in Plymouth on May 8, 1916, the anticipation was palpable. The clock face in this image has been transformed into a sea of youthful faces, each one eager to catch a glimpse of the mysterious lady at the heart of the production. The 1910s, also known as the 'Tens,' were a decade of transformation and excitement. Amidst the backdrop of the Great War, the world continued to spin, and the arts, including theatre, provided a much-needed escape. Watch Your Step was a testament to the enduring power of entertainment, bringing joy and laughter to those seeking a momentary respite from the harsh realities of the time. This postcard, a relic from the past, invites us to step back in time and experience the magic of Watch Your Step. The clock may have been replaced by the faces of young admirers, but the allure of the revue remains as captivating as ever.
