Acrobat Acrobatic Burlesque Candle Candles Panto Pantomime Revue Revues
Get Away You Boys
EDITORS COMMENTS
was a popular revue and farcical burlesque production presented by the renowned theatrical figure, Frank Rubens. First staged at the Grand Theatre in Clapham on May 4, 1914, this image is from the tour of the show to the Regent Theatre in Salford, which took place on October 4, 1915. The captivating promotional postcard showcases an acrobatic scene from the production, with a group of mischievous boys playfully darting around a dimly lit stage. The boys, dressed in 10s fashion, are seen leaping through the air, skillfully avoiding candles that are precariously placed on the stage. The atmosphere is filled with the excitement and anticipation of live theatre, as the audience eagerly awaits the next daring stunt from the agile performers. The revue genre was a popular form of entertainment during the early 1900s, known for its mix of music, comedy, dance, and variety acts. Burlesque, a sub-genre of the revue, added an element of satire and parody to the production, making it a favorite among audiences. With its blend of humor, acrobatics, and theatrical flair, "Get Away You Boys" was sure to provide an unforgettable experience for those in attendance. This photograph, taken in 1915, offers a glimpse into the world of early 20th century popular entertainment. The image captures the essence of the era, with its ornate costumes, theatrical setting, and the spirit of fun and excitement that defined the revue and burlesque scene during this time. Whether you're a fan of theatre history or simply appreciate the art of the stage, this postcard is a must-have for any collection.
