EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of surprise and delight in a scene from the 1910 production of "The Laughing Cavalier" at The Adelphi Theatre in London. In the image, the dashing and debonair Arthur Margetson portrays the titular character, a Cavalier, as he stealthily approaches from behind the unsuspecting wife of Frans Hals the painter, played by the talented Irene Eisinger. She is intently focused on her playing the spinet, oblivious to the impending interruption. The Laughing Cavalier was a popular theatrical production during the early 1900s and was revived several times, including in 1937. This photograph, taken during one of these revivals, showcases the timeless charm and allure of live theatre in the 1930s. The elegant costumes, the intricate set design, and the palpable tension between the actors all contribute to the enchanting atmosphere of the performance. Arthur Margetson, a renowned British actor of the time, masterfully portrays the Cavalier's mischievous and playful nature, while Irene Eisinger's portrayal of the wife adds an air of sophistication and vulnerability to the scene. The interplay between the two actors creates a moment of pure theatrical magic that is sure to leave audiences captivated. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of live theatre and the ability of talented actors to transport audiences to another time and place, all from the comfort of their seats at The Adelphi Theatre in London.
