EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the 1920s with its depiction of Lili Damita and Harry Liedtke in the British silent film, 'The Queen Was in the Parlour,' directed by Graham Cutts. Released in 1928, this movie was a jazz age sensation, and Lili Damita's performance as the flapper heroine, Alice, was a standout. In this scene, Liedtke's character, Lord Carrington, enters the parlor unexpectedly, finding Alice and her friends in an unladylike setting. Damita's youthful and vibrant energy radiates from the image, her expressive eyes and fashionable bobbed hair embodying the spirit of the Roaring Twenties. Liedtke, with his debonair charm and impeccable attire, perfectly complements Damita's exuberance. The intricate details of the set design and the period costumes further transport us to a bygone era. Directed by Graham Cutts for Gainsborough Pictures, 'The Queen Was in the Parlour' was a significant contribution to the history of British silent films. This postcard is not only a beautiful keepsake of a classic movie moment but also a testament to the enduring allure of the 1920s and the captivating performances of Lili Damita and Harry Liedtke.
