EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Gertrude Lawrence in her prime, as she mesmerized audiences at the Vaudeville Theatre in London during the roaring 1920s. In this image, Gertrude, with her expressive eyes and radiant smile, embodies the spirit of the jazz age. She is dressed in an elegant, sequined gown that shimmers in the stage lights, exuding an air of glamour and sophistication. The backdrop of the Vaudeville Theatre, with its ornate curtains and grand architecture, adds to the sense of opulence and excitement. Gertrude Lawrence was a renowned actress and dancer, known for her electrifying performances on both sides of the Atlantic. At the time this photograph was taken, in 1923, she was starring in the production of "Rats," a popular musical comedy that showcased her remarkable talent and charisma. The show was a huge success, and Gertrude's performances were hailed by critics and audiences alike. The 1920s were a golden age for the arts, and London's West End theatres were at the heart of the cultural scene. The Vaudeville Theatre, with its rich history and grandeur, was the perfect setting for Gertrude Lawrence to shine. This portrait is a testament to her enduring legacy as a iconic figure of the jazz age and a beloved performer of her time. The image is a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of glamour, excitement, and creativity. It is a reminder of the power of live theatre to captivate and inspire, and of the enduring appeal of the great performers of the past.
