Aloma" by John B. Hymer and LeRoy Clemens: A Tropical Romance Unfolds on the London Stage This evocative photograph captures the essence of a captivating theatrical production, "Aloma," which premiered at the Adelphi Theatre in London in May 1926. Set against the backdrop of an enchanting island in the South Seas, this romantic play transported audiences to a far-off land of exotic beauty and passion. The production, which was reportedly marked by a sensational tropical storm, was the brainchild of John B. Hymer and LeRoy Clemens. Hymer, a renowned British stage director, and Clemens, an American playwright, collaborated to create a story that would captivate the hearts and minds of theatre-goers in the 1920s. The image showcases a passionate moment between the leading man and woman, their eyes locked in a tender gaze as they stand amidst the turmoil of the storm. The man's protective embrace of the woman speaks to the deep connection between them, while the lush greenery and tumultuous skies in the background serve as a reminder of the raw and untamed power of nature. The "Aloma" production toured various theatres throughout the UK, including the Ilford Hippodrome in September 1929. The 1920s, a decade marked by artistic innovation and cultural experimentation, proved to be the perfect time for such a production to thrive, as audiences craved new and exciting forms of entertainment. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the magic of live theatre could transport audiences to far-off lands and immerse them in a world of romance and adventure. The enduring appeal of "Aloma" and its memorable production continues to captivate audiences today, making it a cherished piece of theatrical history.
