EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this promotional postcard for the theatrical production of "Two Women" by Robert Hughes, first performed at the Colonial Theatre in Cleveland on November 15, 1910, and later at the Lyric Theatre in New York on November 29, 1910. This production was presented by the Schubert Theatres, a prominent name in the entertainment industry during the early 1900s. The image on the postcard features two elegant women, dressed in Edwardian attire, with expressive faces and animated body language. The women are likely portraying characters from the play, which was a popular pantomime or panto of the era. Pantomimes were a form of theatrical entertainment that combined music, dance, comedy, and drama, often with a moral or social message. The Colonial Theatre in Cleveland was a grand venue that could seat over 2,000 people, making it an ideal location for large-scale productions like "Two Women." The Lyric Theatre in New York was also a renowned theatre that played host to many famous actors and productions. Robert Hughes was a prolific playwright and librettist, known for his works in both the United States and the United Kingdom. His collaboration with the Schubert Theatres resulted in the creation of this intriguing and visually striking production. This postcard is a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th-century popular entertainment and the theatrical productions that captivated audiences during the Edwardian era. Whether you're a history buff, a theatre enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the art of storytelling, this postcard is sure to spark your interest and transport you to a bygone era.
