EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the world of mischief and intrigue with this promotional postcard for the theatrical production of "The Golden Moth," starring Fred Thomson and P.G. Wodehouse. This image, featuring artwork by E.P. Kinsella, was created for the tour of the play to the Kings Theatre in Glasgow, Scotland, in January 1922. The title of the production refers to a secret criminal hideout in Paris, the setting for Act II. The golden moth was a popular term for a rendezvous spot for ne'er-do-wells in the 1920s, a time when theatrical productions and pantomimes (panto) provided a much-needed escape from the daily grind. The image showcases the charm and allure of the theatrical world during the 1920s, a time of innovation and excitement in popular entertainment. The elegantly dressed figures in the foreground, with their mysterious expressions, hint at the intrigue and adventure that awaited audiences in the theatre. The backdrop of the poster, with its Parisian street scene and golden moth emblem, adds to the sense of intrigue and excitement. The music for the production was composed by Ivor Novello, ensuring a memorable and enchanting experience for all who attended. This postcard is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of live theatre during the 1920s. It's a reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring appeal of the stage.
