About this Item

This is a collection of six issues of "The Theatre" magazine bound in the publisher's original custom binding. The photo-rich magazine provides extensive coverage of performers and productions on the New York stage in the early 20th Century. It also includes coverage of other elements of the cultural landscape, particularly fashion, opera, vaudeville and early motion pictures. Each issue includes superb colored images for front cover portraits of leading players (usually actresses) of the day as well as color back cover ads. This volume is distinguished by six lavisly colored cover portraits featuring: Lillian Lorraine; Mary Ryan; Blanche Ring; Pauline Chase; Mary Boland; and Edith Wynne Matthison. Interior pages feature reviews of new productions, features on individual actresses and actors, discussion of trends of theater and entertainment, theater fashions, and opera. There are dozens of photos in each issue, many shot by major Broadway photographers of the day. Features in this volume include: Circus clowns; G.K. Chesterton's Toy Theatre; drama in India; Kitty Gordon; and Anna Pavlowa in rehearsal. Plays featured include: John Galsworthy's "Strife"; "The Cheater"; "The Follies of 1910" "Smith" by Somerset Maugham; "The Gamblers"; the Passion Play in Oberammegau Germany; and "Blue Bird" by Maurice Maeterlinck.
