Glittering Gloria: A Timeless Theatrical Spectacle by Hugh Morton This photograph print, taken by renowned photographer Hugh Morton, showcases a scene from the popular theatrical production of "Glittering Gloria," first staged at the Wyndhams Theatre in 1903. The image features two prominent actors, H. Macaulay as Mr. Poskett on the left, and Charles Williams, who also directed, as Mr. Griddletop on the right. The enchanting Glittering Gloria herself is depicted at the top of the photograph. The theatrical world of "Glittering Gloria" was a vibrant and entertaining spectacle, blending elements of popular plays, pantomimes, and panto comedy. Macaulay and Williams were key figures in bringing this production to life, with Macaulay's portrayal of Mr. Poskett and Williams' direction and performance as Mr. Griddletop leaving lasting impressions on audiences. One of the most memorable aspects of "Glittering Gloria" was the inclusion of the mischievous bulldog, Onions, who adds a touch of broad comedy to the production. The bulldog, shown below Gloria, hates the red ties worn by all the men in the play, except for his owner. This comedic detail, though not visually represented in the photograph, adds to the overall charm and appeal of the theatrical experience. This photograph print, taken circa 1903, offers a glimpse into the rich history of theatrical entertainment and the enduring appeal of productions like "Glittering Gloria.
