EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the magical moment from the 1957 production of 'Puss in Boots' at Streatham Hill Theatre in South West London, where the beloved English comic actor and writer, Jimmy Edwards (1920-1988), brought King Jim to life. Edwards, known for his distinctive moustache and impeccable comedic timing, is seen here in regal attire, sharing a playful moment with his on-stage companion, a cat played by Winifred A Ryeland, better known as Freda Wyn (1916-1989). The enchanting scene is set against the backdrop of colorful painted flats and scenery, transporting audiences into a fantastical world of pantomime. Edwards' career spanned several decades, and his performances in pantomimes during the 1950s and 60s became legendary. This photograph is a delightful reminder of the humor and entertainment that filled theatres during that era, as King Jim and his feline friend, Puss in Boots, brought joy to the hearts of children and adults alike.
