EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the legendary English actor, H.B. Irving, in a rare dual role as Lesurques and Dubosc in The Lyons Mail at the Theatre Royal in Manchester during the early 1900s. Irving, a renowned thespian of the Edwardian era, is depicted here in two distinctively different characters - one smartly dressed in a coat and hat, the other in scruffy attire. The intriguing juxtaposition of these contrasting personas adds to the allure of Irving's versatility as an actor. The Theatre Royal in Manchester was a popular venue for touring productions during this period, and Irving's presence undoubtedly drew large crowds. The Lyons Mail was a successful play by Charles B. Cochran, which told the story of a man who discovers his wife's infidelity and seeks revenge. Irving's portrayal of Lesurques and Dubosc, two pivotal characters in the play, showcased his remarkable ability to embody both the noble and the disreputable. This photograph is a testament to the theatrical magic of the era, with Irving's captivating performances and the grandeur of the Theatre Royal in Manchester. The image, from The Michael Diamond Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when live theatre reigned supreme and actors like H.B. Irving captivated audiences with their transformative abilities.
