Fedora" by Victorien Sardou: A Timeless Russian Princess Brings Passion to the Globe Theatre in 1920 This photograph captures Australian actress Marie Lohr in the title role of Victorien Sardou's iconic play, "Fedora." The image shows Lohr as the passionate Russian princess outside her wounded fiancé's sick room in Act I. Originally created for the legendary Sarah Bernhardt, "Fedora" became a popular role for Europe's leading actresses after its debut at the Theatre du Vaudeville in Paris on December 12, 1882. The English version by Herman Merivale premiered at the Haymarket Theatre in London on May 5, 1883. In this revival for the Globe Theatre, London, which began on October 30, 1920, Lohr breathed new life into the iconic character. Sardou's play, with its theatrical production and popular entertainment value, continued to captivate audiences well into the 1920s. The image showcases Lohr's intense expression and regal bearing, embodying the strength and passion of the Russian princess. The photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of "Fedora" and the talent of the actresses who have brought this beloved character to life on the stage. This photograph is a precious reminder of the rich history of theatre and the timeless allure of the Russian princess Fedora. Marie Lohr's portrayal of the character in this 1920 revival at the Globe Theatre adds another layer to the legacy of this iconic play.
