A Country Girl" by James M. Tanner: A Delightful Scene from the 1907 Durrant Swans Company Production at the Theatre Royal in Portsmouth This evocative photograph captures a charming moment from the 1907 tour of the Durrant Swans Company to the Theatre Royal in Portsmouth. The image features Barry, the faithful servant, and his sweetheart Sophie, engaged in a playful duet, "Two Little Chicks," from the popular musical comedy "A Country Girl" by James M. Tanner and Lionel Monckton. Barry, dressed in a simple, rustic outfit, holds a basket of straw and eggs, while Sophie, a graceful woman with an air of elegance, faces him, her hands forming the shape of chicken wings as she sings. The couple's playful interaction is further emphasized by the circle of lyrics and music from their duet that surrounds them. The male and female performers in the background, dressed in colorful costumes and wearing feathers, add to the lively atmosphere of the scene. The image exudes a sense of joy and camaraderie, transporting us back to a simpler time. The setting, with its warm lighting and inviting atmosphere, further enhances the appeal of this moment. The Durrant Swans Company's production of "A Country Girl" was a popular success, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the delightful world of music, theater, and romance that it brought to audiences in Portsmouth and beyond. This photograph, with its timeless charm and evocative details, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in the history of musical theater or the social and cultural milieu of early 20th century Britain.
