EDITORS COMMENTS
Frivolities de France: A Night of Jazz and Deco Delights at the Prince of Wales Theatre, London, 1938 Step back in time to the vibrant and glamorous 1930s with this programme cover for Frivolities de France, an enchanting production staged at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London, affectionately known as 'London's Folies Bergère'. The programme, dated 1938, showcases an exquisite illustration by the talented Louis Curti, bringing to life the essence of the French revue. The art deco design, a popular aesthetic of the era, is evident in the intricate patterns and bold colours that adorn the cover. The image features a radiant woman in a sequinned dress, surrounded by a sea of dancers, all lost in the rhythm of the jazz music that filled the theatre. The playful and frivolous atmosphere is further emphasized by the title, Frivolities de France, which promises an evening of light-hearted entertainment. The programme was produced by Alfred Esdaile, a renowned figure in the British theatre scene, who brought the best of European cabaret to London's stages. The Prince of Wales Theatre, under his direction, became a hub for jazz music and decadent productions, attracting audiences from all walks of life. This evocative programme cover is a testament to the magic of the past, transporting us to a time of glamour, excitement, and the irresistible allure of jazz. A true treasure for anyone with an appreciation for the history of theatre and the arts, this programme cover is a must-have for any collection.
