Male and Female Actors in Costumes Performing a Dance Routine On Stage, 1920s. British theatre show. 'One cannot deny the sweep and showmanship of the twenties. It was a sad era for many, a hard one for others, a gay time for a few. But amid the bright lights, all asked for gaiety, humour, and tuneful music, and no-one can deny that they got it. Like most forms of expression, the stage reflects the mood and spirit of the times...they all believed in that old cliché, "there's no business like show business".' From "Time To Remember - On Stage in the Twenties", 1927 (Reel 4); a look behind the scenes of the theatre during the 1920's.
