EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and drama of a live performance at the Comedy Theatre in London's Haymarket district during the 1920s. The image features the renowned English actor C Aubrey Smith in the lead role of 'The Creaking Chair,' a melodrama that showcased his exceptional acting skills and captivated audiences. Smith, dressed impeccably in a formal suit, complete with a bowtie, sits in a wheelchair center stage. His frowning expression and gripping the gun in his hand convey a sense of deep concentration and determination. The title of the production, 'The Creaking Chair,' is reflected in the worried look on his face and the caption below the image. Joining Smith on stage is the legendary American actress Tallulah Bankhead, who can be seen in the background, dressed in an elegant evening gown. The dimly lit stage, with its theatrical props and atmospheric setting, adds to the overall sense of suspense and intrigue. The Comedy Theatre, located on Panton Street, was a popular venue for live entertainment during the 1920s. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of live theatre, where the magic of the stage came to life through the dedication and talent of actors like C Aubrey Smith.
