EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegance and sophistication of the final performance of "The Last of the Dandies" at Her Majesty's Theatre in London during the early 1900s. The production, written by American playwright Clyde Fitch, was directed by the renowned English actor-manager Henry Irving's successor, Henry A. S. Mansfield, but it was the proprietor and manager of the theatre, Henry Beerbohm Tree, who brought this theatrical masterpiece to life. Tree, known for his impeccable style and flair, is depicted in the photograph, standing proudly at the edge of the stage, overseeing the scene. He wears a top hat, cane, and a smart white bowtie, exuding an air of refinement and authority. The dandies and beaus of the production, dressed in their finest brummel suits and capes, can be seen in the background, paying homage to the fashionable gentlemen of the Edwardian era. "The Last of the Dandies" was a significant production during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, reflecting the changing social landscape of the time. The play, which tells the story of a dandy who must choose between his love for a commoner and his commitment to his dandyish ways, was a popular success and showcased Tree's ability to bring together a talented cast and production team. This photograph is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the theatre during the early 1900s, and the enduring appeal of the dandy as a symbol of elegance and refinement. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of high society and theatrical entertainment during a bygone era.
