Eve of The Tatler in the revue, Tina at the Adelphi, WW1

Actresses, including Phyllis Dare, playing Eve, the fictional lead columnist, drawn by Annie Fish for The Tatler magazine, whose stylish and stylised costumes were recreated (quite brilliantly I should say) for real in a sketch devoted to the character, as part of a revue, "Tina" at the Adelphi Theatre in 1916. Both The Sketch and The Tatler magazines reported (sometimes with sketches) that the costumes had inspired real-life spring fashions. Paul Rubens composed the music for Eve's number. Tatler wrote, we are proud that our little creation should have been materialised in such a brilliant fashion. None of our readers should miss seeing this delightful number
