Abies Irish Rose
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic comedy play written by Anne Nichols, first produced at the Princes Theatre in Manchester, England, in March 1927, and later transferred to the Apollo Theatre in London in April of the same year. The photograph features a scene from the production, with Solomon, played by an unidentified actor, expressing his disapproval towards his Irish daughter Rosemary, portrayed by Colleen, for her intended marriage to a Jewish man. This image captures the tension and cultural clash between the two fathers, reflecting the racial prejudices of the time. The play, which ran for over 2,300 performances on Broadway, was a huge success and continues to be a significant piece of theatre history from the 1920s. Robert Benchley, a renowned American humorist, once remarked that the play's comedic elements were the reason why democracy could never be a success. The photograph, with its poignant and humorous portrayal of interfaith relationships and generational conflict, offers a glimpse into the social dynamics of the time. The image is part of The Michael Diamond Collection, held by Mary Evans Picture Library, and is a testament to the enduring appeal of "Abies Irish Rose" as a theatrical masterpiece. The photograph's timeless quality and historical significance make it an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history of theatre and the social issues of the 1920s.
