Two Little Vagabonds
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a theatrical production by renowned British playwright George R. Sims and composer Arthur Shirley, first performed at the Princess's Theatre in London on September 23, 1896. This promotional postcard from 1909, featuring the artwork of Albert Morrow, showcases a scene from the popular pantomime. The image presents two mischievous vagabond boys, clad in ragged clothing, sneaking around in the countryside with a stolen item in hand. One boy, with a sly grin on his face, looks back over his shoulder, while the other, with a determined expression, keeps a watchful eye out for any potential threats. A policeman, unaware of their misdeed, is shown in the background, adding to the intrigue and excitement of the scene. "Two Little Vagabonds" was a beloved theatrical work of the Edwardian era, touring to various theatres across the country, including the New Theatre in Cardiff on May 24, 1909. The production, which was first inspired by the French play "Les Deux Gosses" by Pierre Decourcelle, was a staple of popular entertainment during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The pantomime's combination of music, comedy, and adventure captured the hearts of audiences and solidified its place in the annals of theatrical history. This postcard is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of theatrical productions during the 1900s and the enduring appeal of the vagabond archetype in storytelling.
