EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne Croft, a celebrated British actress of the early 20th century, is captured in this elegant photograph as she gracefully portrays the character Nadina in Stanislaus Stange's production of "The Chocolate Soldier" at the Shaftesbury Theatre on March 31, 1932. With music by Johann Strauss, this revival of the popular theatrical entertainment brought together some of the most talented artists of the time. In this stunning image, Anne dons a magnificent tiara and ornate headdress adorned with jewels, adding to the allure and sophistication of her character. Her elegant dress, adorned with intricate hand-embroidery and a dazzling necklace, complements her regal appearance. With a captivating expression and a delicate hand resting on her waist, Anne exudes an air of grace and beauty that drew audiences to the theatre. "The Chocolate Soldier," also known as "Der Zigeunerbaron," is a classic operetta that first premiered in 1885. The story follows the romantic exploits of a count who disguises himself as a gypsy to win the heart of a beautiful countess. Anne's portrayal of Nadina, the countess, was a testament to her versatility as an actress and her ability to captivate audiences with her charm and poise. This photograph is a timeless reminder of Anne Croft's theatrical prowess and the enduring appeal of "The Chocolate Soldier." It is a beautiful piece of entertainment history that continues to inspire and delight audiences to this day.
