EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Frank Forbes-Robertson in Bas-Relief by Charles Pibworth: A Theatrical Star of the 1920s This evocative promotional postcard showcases a bas-relief sculpture of Frank Forbes-Robertson, created by renowned British sculptor Charles Pibworth. The image was produced as a publicity piece for Forbes-Robertson's engagements with the Full London Company, which commenced their run at Theatre Royal, Brighton on March 26, 1922. Forbes-Robertson is depicted in the sculpture with an air of confidence and charisma, reflecting his popularity on the stage during the 1920s. The theatrical scene is further emphasized by the Greek key design surrounding the cartouche, adding an element of elegance and sophistication to the image. During his time with the Full London Company, Forbes-Robertson graced the Theatre Royal stage with an impressive repertoire. His performances included "The Passing of the Third Floor Back," "Of Mice and Men," "The Call of the Road," and "Rosemary," as well as other productions. Notably, the first two plays were associated with his more famous brother, Johnston Forbes-Robertson, who also made a name for himself in the world of theatre. The 1920s were an era of vibrant popular entertainment, and the stage was a primary source of excitement and enjoyment for audiences. Forbes-Robertson's presence in the theatrical scene during this time is a testament to his talent and dedication to his craft. This postcard serves as a reminder of the rich history of theatrical arts and the enduring appeal of live performances.
