EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1897, two of the most influential figures in the American theatre world, Charles Frohman and David Belasco, proudly present their latest collaboration, a new play entitled "The First Born" by Francis Powers. The poster behind them prominently displays the title and the names of the playwright and the stars of the production. Charles Frohman, a renowned theatrical impresario, stands on the left, his sharp gaze fixed on the camera. Known for his innovative marketing strategies and his ability to discover and nurture new talent, Frohman had already produced numerous successful plays and was a major player in the New York theatrical scene. On the right, we see David Belasco, the celebrated playwright, producer, and director. Belasco was a master of creating atmospheric productions and was known for his meticulous attention to detail. His innovative staging techniques and ability to bring stories to life on the stage had earned him a reputation as one of the leading figures in American theatre. Together, Frohman and Belasco had formed a formidable partnership, with Frohman producing Belasco's plays and Belasco writing and directing for Frohman's company. "The First Born" marked their latest collaboration, and the anticipation for the production was high. The photograph captures the excitement and the sense of occasion surrounding the premiere of this new play, which would go on to be another success for the duo. The poster behind them, with its bold typography and evocative imagery, serves as a testament to the marketing prowess of Frohman and the creative vision of Belasco. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of late-19th-century American theatre and the partnership between two of its most influential figures.
