The Fascinating Mr. Vanderbilt
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Alfred Sutro, captures the moment of intrigue and charm as the titular character, Cornelius Vanderbilt, stands confidently beside his old-fashioned, open-topped motorcar. The year is 1906, and this photograph was taken during the production of the popular comedy play at the Opera House in Torquay, England. The play, which premiered at the Garrick Theatre in London on April 26, 1906, tells the story of Vanderbilt, a charming cad who admits to the heroine that he has caused the car to break down outside a remote hotel, intending to compromise and then marry her. The image shows Vanderbilt in his dapper attire, exuding an air of sophistication and mischief, as he gazes off into the distance, seemingly unaware of the curious couple watching him from a distance. The woman, with a hand shielding her eyes from the smoke emanating from the car's exhaust, looks on with a mix of fascination and apprehension, while her companion, a man in a suit and hat, appears more skeptical. This photograph is a captivating snapshot of a moment in the production of a play that was hailed as "The Comedy of the Year" in its day. The image transports us back in time to an era of horse-drawn carriages giving way to motorcars, and the thrill of live theatre as a popular form of entertainment. The charm and allure of Mr. Vanderbilt, as portrayed by Alfred Sutro, continue to captivate us even today.
