EDITORS COMMENTS
by Edward Knoblauch: A Dramatic Portrayal of Marie Lohr as the Bell-Ringing Nun, Silenced by the Roman Catholic Lobby during WWI This evocative promotional postcard showcases Marie Lohr in the title role of "Marie-Odile," a captivating theatrical production by Edward Knoblauch that first graced the stage at His Majesty's Theatre in London on June 8, 1915. The image, taken from the first production, presents Lohr in the guise of a nun, engaged in the traditional bell-ringing ritual. The play, a popular drama that captured the hearts of audiences during the tumultuous period of World War I, was a dramatic and theatrical exploration of the lives of nuns. However, the production faced significant opposition from the Roman Catholic lobby, who disapproved of the portrayal of their faith and its members on stage. Despite its initial success, "Marie-Odile" was forced to close its doors after only 30 performances. The controversy surrounding the play highlights the complex relationship between art, religion, and societal norms during a time of great upheaval and change. The image of Marie Lohr as Marie-Odile, with her intense gaze and determined posture, serves as a poignant reminder of the power of art to challenge conventions and provoke thought, even in the face of adversity. This beautifully preserved postcard, a testament to the enduring allure of the stage, invites us to reflect on the rich history of drama and the role it plays in shaping our collective cultural consciousness.
