EDITORS COMMENTS
This page from The Sketch magazine, dated October 19, 1939, showcases the enchanting starlets and show-girls of the Black Velvet revue at London's iconic Hippodrome. Amidst the looming shadows of World War II, these radiant women brought joy and glamour to the London stage. Iris Lockwood, who would later marry esteemed theatre producer Robert Nesbitt, graces the top left corner of the page with her captivating smile. Dawn Lazarre, Pat Kirkwood, Roma Beaumont, Carol Lynne, Norma Dawn, and Roberta Huby are also featured, each exuding an air of allure and charm. Their stunning outfits, adorned with the signature black velvet fabric, add to the seductive atmosphere of the revue. Despite the uncertainty and hardships brought about by the 2nd World War, the Black Velvet revue provided a much-needed escape for Londoners. The show, which was held at the Hippodrome – a historic venue known for its grand productions – offered a glimpse of glamour and sophistication amidst the chaos of wartime. These actresses and starlets, who would go on to become household names, showcased their talents and charisma on the London stage, leaving audiences enchanted and eager for more. The Black Velvet revue was more than just a distraction from the war; it was a testament to the resilience and spirit of the people of London during a time of great adversity.
