Dramatically lit against the dark background, Everett Shinn's acrobat holds not only the attention of the viewer in such a way that we can almost feel the anticipation. The acrobat's fall was part of a popular vaudeville act touring American theatres in the 1920s.

From Jerome K. Jeromeβs StageLand - curious manners & customs of its inhabitants.
βThe Stage peasantry do not talk much - they like to be told long & complicated stories about wrongs done years ago to people that they never heard of.β
Charity shop find - Queen Mary jug. She attended the first Royal Variety Performance in 1912. Said to have buried her face in her programme at the sight of Vesta Tilley in trousers. Did it happen? Good story anyway. @musichallsociety.bsky.social
