EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures scenes from the play 'The Yellow Jacket' by George C. Hazelton and Benrimo, performed in 1913. The play, described as 'a Chinese play done in a Chinese manner, in three acts,' was brought to life by the talented actors Benrimo J. Harry and Joseph Henry McAlpin. Arnold Genthe, the renowned photographer, captured these moments in black and white, immortalizing the essence of the production. The actors are seen dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, with intricately designed headgear and jewelry adorning their heads and bodies. One actor dons a long, flowing robe and a jeweled headdress, while the other wears a more modest outfit, complete with a high-collared jacket and boots with carriage boots. The setting of the play is not explicitly shown in the photograph, but the actors' intense expressions and focused gazes suggest that they are deep in the midst of a dramatic performance. The audience is left to imagine the intricate details of the Chinese country scene, perhaps complete with colorful decorations and ornate props. The Yellow Jacket was a groundbreaking production that showcased the richness and complexity of Chinese culture to American audiences. The play's costumes, which were designed to authentically represent Chinese fashion, were a significant aspect of its success. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring impact of this production and the artistry of the actors and designers involved. Arnold Genthe's glass negative captures the essence of this unique moment in theatrical history, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the power of live performance to transport and inspire.
