EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from the 1929 British silent film "City of Play," directed by Denison Clift. In the scene, we see the charismatic Chili Bouchier (left) and Pat Aherne (right) engaged in a playful moment, adding a touch of lightheartedness to the gritty urban backdrop of the film. The scene was filmed at the Islington Studios in London during the 1920s, a time when jazz music and youth culture were sweeping through the city. Chili Bouchier, born in 1902, was a popular stage and screen actress of the era, known for her vivacious personality and expressive acting. Pat Aherne, born in 1901, was also a talented actor who appeared in numerous films during the 1920s and 1930s. Together, they brought to life the characters of "City of Play," a film that explored the complexities of urban life and the human condition. This original press kit photograph, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, offers a rare glimpse into the making of this historical film. The image captures the essence of the 1920s, a time of change and innovation in both film and society. The image, with its high contrast and sharp detail, adds to the timeless quality of this iconic moment from "City of Play.
