EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Theatrical Performance at Dongan Hall, 1921 May 27,' captures a moment of enchantment and wonder during a theatrical production at the historic Dongan Hall on Staten Island, New York. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, the image transports us back to the 1920s, an era of elegance and charm. In the foreground, a young boy in formal attire, perhaps a pageboy, gazes intently at the stage, his expression a mixture of awe and excitement. Behind him, other boys and men, dressed in various theatrical costumes, prepare for their entrance. A musician, with a horn in hand, focuses intently on his instrument, lost in the music. The setting is the beautiful Dongan Hall, a historic estate and garden, which has served as a backdrop for numerous cultural and social events throughout the centuries. The photograph, with its timeless quality and rich detail, offers a glimpse into the heritage of American performing arts and the joy and wonder they bring to audiences of all ages. The image, a nitrate negative, is a testament to the enduring power of the arts and the magic they create. The photograph, taken by the renowned Arnold Genthe, is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's extensive collection of historical images, showcasing the beauty and diversity of America's cultural heritage.
