EDITORS COMMENTS
This scene is taken from the early 20th century English musical comedy 'Miss Hook of Holland,' featuring Eva Kelly as Gretchen, the Manageress of the Distillery, and G.P. Huntley as Mr. Hook. In this moment, Mr. Hook, a wealthy and unhappy man, leans despairingly on the bar, surrounded by an array of bottles of Dutch Kummel, a traditional Dutch liqueur. Gretchen, concerned for her customer's wellbeing, attempts to console him with a gentle reprimand, "Well if you must cry, don't cry in the Kummel." The musical comedy, with music and lyrics by Paul Rubens and a book by Austen Hurgon and Rubens, was set in the Netherlands and brought a unique blend of Dutch culture and English humor to the stage. The production showcased lively music and lyrics, with this scene being a poignant moment of drama amidst the entertainment. The historical photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to the world of 'Miss Hook of Holland,' a fascinating piece of musical theater history.
