EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Theatrical Performance at Dongan Hall, 1921 May 27," captures a captivating moment during a theatrical performance at Dongan Hall in Staten Island, New York City, United States. The image, created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, transports us back to the 1920s, a time of cultural and artistic innovation in America. In the foreground, an actress bends forward, fully immersed in her role, her expressive face conveying a range of emotions. She wears an elegant, flowing costume, adding to the allure of the theatrical experience. Behind her, two young girls, wide-eyed and engrossed, watch intently, their faces reflecting a mixture of awe and excitement. The photograph was taken at Dongan Hall, a historic estate that once served as the seat of the New York State Legislature and now functions as a cultural center and museum. The setting, a lush garden, further emphasizes the connection between the natural world and the arts. This image, captured on nitrate negative film, is a testament to the enduring power of live performance and the role it plays in our collective cultural heritage. Arnold Genthe's masterful use of light and shadow, combined with his keen eye for capturing authentic moments, make this photograph a valuable addition to the Library of Congress' extensive collection of American art and history.
