EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, folks! Gather 'round and feast your eyes on this tantalizing sneak peek of the scandalous sensation that took the Standard Theatre by storm in 1906: The Girl Who Took The Wrong Turning, starring the captivating and enigmatic Walter Melville! This tantalizing theatrical treat, produced a full decade before the infamous Mae West made innuendo her signature style, promised to leave audiences breathless with its daring wit and saucy charm. Melville's mesmerizing performance as the eponymous girl, who, as the title suggests, took a fateful misstep into the unknown, was said to have left the audience in a state of delightful confusion and titillation. The Girl Who Took The Wrong Turning was no ordinary play, oh no! It was a pantomime, a theatrical genre that thrived on innuendo, double entendres, and a healthy dose of mischief. And with Melville at the helm, it was sure to be a popular and entertaining evening of first-class entertainment. So, come one, come all, and join us at the Standard Theatre for an unforgettable journey of mistaken identities, hidden desires, and, of course, a few well-placed winks and nudges. The Girl Who Took The Wrong Turning: a play that will leave you wondering, did she or didn't she? Experience the magic of yesteryears' popular entertainment, as captured in this photograph of Walter Melville in his most scandalous role. A true theatrical treasure, not to be missed!
