Framed Print of Playbill postcard for Alfs Button
The most popular manifestation of Orientalism after WWI seems to have been Alfs Button. W.A Darlingtons novel appeared in1920, was filmed (silent movie) the same year, became a stage play in 1924 (as pictured here in this playbill by John Hassall), and was re-filmed as one of the first British talkies in 1930. The play deals with the dull routine of war - the hero, Alf, then receives a new uniform with a button made from Aladdins lamp, and from there the fun starts. A formidable genie appears, and when Alf orders Strike me pink! obeys, so that Alf gets a skin condition that confounds all the army doctors. Date: 1924. Mary Evans Picture Library makes available wonderful images created for people to enjoy over the centuries. © Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection
