EDITORS COMMENTS
A Country Mouse" is a captivating theatrical moment immortalized in this stunning photograph by Albert Morrow. The image depicts the character Angela, portrayed by an unknown actress, as she ascends a ladder, pursued by a determined suitor. The suitor, likely the Duke of St. Kitts, is shown in elegant attire, including a tailcoat and top hat, as he climbs the steps behind her. Arthur Law's play, "A Country Mouse," was a popular production in 1909, and this scene from the Theatre Royal in Bournemouth on July 19th of that year, showcases the excitement and intrigue of live theatre. The white frilly dress and hat of the female lead contrast sharply with the dark suit and cane of her pursuer, creating a visually striking dynamic. The artist, Albert Morrow, expertly captures the essence of the moment, with the ladder's steps leading the viewer's eye from the determined expression on the Duke's face to the focused determination on Angela's. The ladder's wooden rungs and the worn, textured walls of the theatre provide a sense of authenticity, transporting the viewer back in time to this theatrical moment. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of live theatre and the thrill of a romantic chase, making it a must-have for any theatre history or art collection.
