EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Gerald Du Maurier in the role of the dashing and cunning Arsène Lupin, the legendary French burglar and gentleman thief, during a theatrical performance in 1934. Du Maurier, an English actor and manager, brought the charisma and wit of Arsène Lupin to life on the stage, making this historical portrayal a must-see event for audiences of the time. Du Maurier's portrayal of Arsène Lupin, created by French author Maurice Leblanc, marked a departure from the traditional image of the criminal mastermind. Instead, Du Maurier's Arsène Lupin was a charming and sophisticated gentleman, who used his intelligence and cunning to outsmart his adversaries. The image of Du Maurier in this photograph, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and a tiara adorning his head, perfectly encapsulates the enigmatic and debonair nature of the character. Born in 1873, Du Maurier was a versatile actor who made a significant impact on the British stage and screen. He was also an accomplished manager, running the Duke of York's Theatre in London from 1927 to 1939. This photograph, taken during a production of "The Secret of Arsène Lupin" (also known as "The White Arsène Lupin"), showcases Du Maurier's ability to captivate audiences with his magnetic stage presence and impeccable performance as the elusive Arsène Lupin. This image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of English theatre in the 1930s and the enduring appeal of Arsène Lupin as a cultural icon. The photograph is a testament to Du Maurier's talent as an actor and his ability to bring a beloved character to life, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical theatre photographs.
