EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the distinguished visage of Mitchell Mason, an accomplished actor of the early 20th century, on October 5, 1915. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, this glass negative image showcases Mason's formal attire, which includes a crisp, white shirt, black bow tie, and a dark suit jacket. The elegance of his military-inspired apparel is accentuated by the pristine, high-collared dress shirt and the meticulously pressed creases of his trousers. Mason's piercing gaze directly into the camera adds an air of intensity and focus to the photograph, further emphasizing his thespian prowess. The image is a testament to the fashion trends of the 1910s, with the formal dress code being a staple for men during this era. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in photographic art, expertly captured the essence of Mason's character in this timeless portrait. The image is part of Genthe's extensive collection, which is now housed at the Library of Congress. This photograph is a valuable addition to the heritage of entertainment history, offering a glimpse into the world of acting during the early 1900s.
