EDITORS COMMENTS
This black-and-white photograph captures the magnetic chemistry between Ivor Novello and Mae Marsh in a scene from the 1925 British silent film, "The Rat." Directed by Graham Cutts and produced by Michael Balcon for Gainsborough Pictures, this cinematic gem of the Jazz Age was released in 1925. Ivor Novello, a renowned British actor, singer, and composer, plays the enigmatic and dangerous character of Rathen, an apache dancer, while Mae Marsh portrays the vulnerable and innocent heroine, Nan. In this scene, the tension between the two characters is palpable as Rathen attempts to protect Nan from danger. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a time of cultural and social transformation. This photograph encapsulates the essence of the era, with its fashionable attire, expressive body language, and theatrical setting. The scene was most likely filmed at Islington Studios, where much of "The Rat" was produced. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of British silent films and the enduring legacy of Ivor Novello and Mae Marsh's electrifying on-screen partnership. The image is a must-have for any film history enthusiast, collector, or scholar, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the captivating artistry of the silent film era.
