EDITORS COMMENTS
Come and See the Famous Yacht Scene: A Comical Moment from Brewster's Millions by Winchell Smith and Byron Ongley Step into the world of Monty Brewster, the hapless heir to a vast fortune, as depicted in this photograph from the 1911 theatrical production of Brewster's Millions by Winchell Smith and Byron Ongley. In this scene, Monty, portrayed by the talented Percy Hutchison, is seen intently telephoning his broker, holding the receiver to his ear with a worried expression. This photograph offers a striking contrast to another image of Hutchison as Monty from the 1936 film "Masquerade," where he is seen delighted at the news that his investments are falling. In Brewster's Millions, Monty is on a mission to squander his inheritance in order to prove his worthiness to his late uncle's estate. The yacht scene is a pivotal moment in the story as Monty attempts to lose some of his wealth by gambling at sea. Brewster's Millions, a popular comedy play, first premiered on the stage in 1902 and has since become a beloved classic in the realm of theatrical entertainment. The play's comical premise and enduring appeal continue to captivate audiences, making this photograph a must-see for anyone interested in the history of theatre and early 20th-century popular entertainment.
