EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the play "The Skin Game" by renowned British playwright John Galsworthy. Taken in 1928, the image showcases the talented cast members who brought this gripping drama to life on stage at St Martins Theatre in London. In the photograph, we see Mr. Athole Stewart portraying Hillcrist, while Miss Helen Heye embodies Mrs. Hillcrist with grace and poise. Miss Meggie Albanesi takes on the role of Chloe, exuding charm and elegance alongside Mr. Edmund Gwenn as Hornblower. Set in a billiard room, this particular scene depicts an intense moment during an auction that is central to the plot of "The Skin Game". The actors' expressions reveal their deep immersion into their characters, capturing both tension and intrigue. Foulsham and Banfield expertly captured this snapshot of theatrical brilliance for The Bookman magazine's Special Christmas Number in 1928. Their monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing the dramatic atmosphere of early 20th-century Britain. This print serves as a testament to the power of live performance and reminds us of the enduring legacy left behind by talented actors like Athole Stewart, Helen Heye, Meggie Albanesi, and Edmund Gwenn.
